About me
I am a qualified Psychotherapist with a MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work in private practice from HQ Therapy Rooms, Haggerston, offering in-person and online sessions.
I work within a Psychodynamic model - there is no set agenda to the session, rather I offer a free-associative space encouraging you to bring whatever is on your mind. Together, we will think about what may be troubling you and aim to make sense of this. In sessions, we may uncover thoughts, memories and feelings that have previously remained unconscious. Bringing these to conscious awareness allows scope to consider how past experiences and previous relationships hold influence over your current well-being.
Psychotherapy can enhance deeper self-reflection and understanding to improve the relationship with yourself and to others around you. By facilitating an environment where you are able to express and explore your deepest fears, anxieties and traumas, I hope to ground meaning and help alleviate pain, allowing yourself to work through these issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training was undertaken at the University of Birkbeck. I began my clinical practice at SBC, a low-cost charity providing affordable therapy to the local community working with a wide demographic. My practice considers the social and cultural dynamics that influence our relationships and form our identities. I also have previous experience in the voluntary sector, working with women who have survived trafficking and sexual exploitation. I am registered with the BACP and work within their ethical framework.
I hold a personal, adaptable approach to create a safe, caring and attentive space suited to each individual. My clinical practice includes treatment of milder presentations to more complex conditions; whether you are struggling with low-level anxiety or suicidal ideations, I maintain that all cases hold utmost importance and are treated with serious attention and care.
I have experience working with: depression; stress & anxiety; loneliness; self-harm & suicidal ideations; PTSD; trauma; grief & loss; domestic, emotional & sexual abuse; matters of identity; sexual orientation (LGBTQIA+); relationship issues; sex & intimacy issues; body image & eating disorders; matters of identity and life transitions.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
The therapeutic relationship is central to the therapy. Our relational dynamic factors invaluably to the work. It is essential you find the right therapist for you, therefore I encourage clients to explore a range of options to find the best fit.
