About me
As we move through life circumstances change. How this affects us is a very personal and individual experience.
There may be significant life events or a general sense that things are not as they could be ......
I provide a contained space to explore your life experience so that your current situation can be understood in context. This confidential and professional support can allow you to become more flexible and confident in you life choices.
I am a qualified psychotherapist with many years experience in private practice and the NHS.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have trained as a psychodynamic psychotherapist and am a registered member of the British Psychoanalytic Council and British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I work in private practice in the West End and in North London. I also work as a psychotherapist in the NHS in Westminster.
Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC)
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
Life can at times seem overwhelming and out of balance. We may find ourselves experiencing similar situations again and again. Relationships may cause concern or distress.
It can be helpful to have a place to think about all of this that is confidential and separate from your usual support.
Although it is often challenging to think about your life in a way that you would not usually, it does allow you the opportunity to explore and express yourself in a way that you have not been able to before.
