About me
I am a fully qualified psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor with over fifteen years of experience based in Hackney, East London. I offer in-person and online sessions in E8 4SA.
I am a registered full professional member of UKCP (The UK Council for Psychotherapy) and FPC (Foundation for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and adhere to their strict professional guidelines and code of ethics.
I aim to offer a safe and compassionate space to help you get explore the issues you bring without prejudice, in a non-judgemental way. Whether you are struggling to come to terms with a recent trauma such as bereavement or relationship breakdown, experience relationship difficulties or a life-long struggle with unhelpful patterns of behaviour, or would like to get to know yourself better, I will work with you and alongside you to help you address life's challenges, and summon the strength and courage required to make significant changes in your life.
Whether you are new to therapy or would like to return to address current or recurring difficulties, I would be happy to tailor my approach to your individual needs, be it by offering a limited number of sessions to address a specific issue, or an open-ended exploration so you can get to know yourself better and make meaningful lasting changes in your life.
Therapy is a collaborative endeavour which requires commitment from us both, so it is essential that you feel comfortable working with me. I offer a free telephone call, followed by an extensive initial consultation, which would be an opportunity for us to get a sense of what it would feel like to be working together. This initial meeting is exploratory, without an obligation to continue in treatment.
I aim to respond to all queries within 48 hours and all our correspondence is fully confidential.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at WPF Therapy, a leading academic and clinical institution for psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy. I am a fully registered member of FPC ( Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling) and UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and adhere to the professional Code of Ethics set out by these bodies.
I regularly engage in Continuous Professional Development to expand, update and review my professional practice.
