About me

My London-based practice is open to adults, families, and couples, as well as children (8+) and teens, with options for online or in-person sessions

I support those who struggle with the feeling that things aren’t right, who worry something is wrong with them, feel like their relationships don’t seem to work the way they want to or often feel things are overwhelming.

For those looking for specialised services, whether these are based on diagnosis or your own instinct, I offer support for eating disorders, body image issues and trauma.

My practice additionally welcomes members of the LGBTQ+ community and those identifying as part of marginalised communities. I also offer sessions in German for those who prefer. 

If you’re feeling stuck or you keep having the same thoughts over and over, you're not alone. Making that first step by getting in touch can be one of the hardest and bravest things to do for yourself or the relationships in your life. 

Training, qualifications & experience

My work has taken me through different settings including the NHS, public and private sector, before moving into private practice. 

I work following an integrative modality, which essentially means I integrate multiple types of therapeutic styles. For those who are interested or have had therapy before, the core modalities I draw on in my practice include Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Therapies. I also have additional training in CBT and DBT, as well as trauma therapies.

Main Qualifications:

  • BACP Accreditation
  • COSCA Validated Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling (Interpersonal Dialogue)
  • Master of Counselling (MCouns)

Additional Qualifications and Courses:

  • Treating Trauma with Internal Family Systems Therapy 
  • Crisis Safety Planning 
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy 
  • Diploma in Diet and Nutrition
  • Integrating Trauma Informed Embodied Practice
  • Working with Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
  • Integrating Polyvagal Theory

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Additional information

Especially if you haven’t done this before, knowing what comes next is key. Here’s some things I do to make this easier for you:

1.     Free Introductory Calls
If you’re interested and want to learn more, book a free introductory call via the link on this page. These free 15–20-minute meetings allow us to get a chance to get to know each other better, for me to understand more of what you’re looking for and tell you how I can support you.

2.     Flexible Session Scheduling
We always start with an initial session for you to get a feel of the therapy and if this is the right fit for you. Therapy can take a weekly format where you choose a timeslot every week/bi-weekly but can also be adapted to your work schedule or to meet the needs of your life.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
