About me
I am an experienced Psychotherapist working with adult individuals and couples.
I believe therapy is a collaborative and evolving process with a respectful space where every thought and feeling is welcomed. Space where we meet with openness, curiosity, care and without any judgment. It’s not just about helping you “feel better,” but about walking alongside you as you make sense of your experiences, navigate emotional challenges, and uncover your own strengths.
In our work together, we will explore the roots of your emotions and uncover the patterns that shape your thoughts, relationships, and experiences.
By exploring beneath the surface, it can help address a wide range of challenges — from stress, anxiety and depression to issues of self-esteem, identity, sexuality, gender, addiction, life transitions, parenting and relationship dynamics. Through this process, you can gain insight and healing that lasts.
I passionately believe that long-term growth comes from exploring and accepting all parts of the self to find your own unique and fulfilling way to live your life.
I bring warmth, sensitivity, humour and a genuine interest in people’s stories.
I have extensive experience in health/community settings and over 15 years in private practice. Approaches I draw from in my work include, Psychoanalytic, Existential Psychotherapy and Transactional Analysis.
I have no doubt that everyone can benefit from the therapeutic process, and I invite you to be next.
My private practice is based in South East London/Sydenham, walking distance from Sydenham, Lower Sydenham, Forest Hill and Penge East train station.
Free on street parking.
I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy and undertake regular supervision as an integral part of my practice.

MBACP, I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy BACP
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.
