About me
I am a psychotherapist with over 10 years’ experience working with adults in private practice, university counselling and clinical supervision. Alongside my private practice in Ascot, I work therapeutically at Royal Holloway, University of London, and I am a trained supervisor and Head Clinical Supervisor at the London Therapy Foundation.
I offer a warm, thoughtful and collaborative approach to therapy. You may be coming with a specific difficulty such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems or self-harm, or you may simply feel overwhelmed, stuck or unlike yourself.
I work integratively, which means I tailor therapy to the individual rather than expecting everyone to work in the same way. My approach is influenced by person-centred, relational, psychodynamic and existential therapy, while also drawing on practical CBTstrategies where useful.
I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy, online and face-to-face in central Ascot. I understand that work, family and other commitments can make a fixed weekly appointment difficult, so clients are able to book sessions around their availability rather than always attending at the same time each week.
My practice is easily accessible by train from Ascot station.
Previous clients have said:
“You’ve been fantastic and I am so happy with the progress I’ve made. It’s been incredibly valuable and I feel more in touch with my emotions, understanding them, and using them for good than ever before.”
“I’m so grateful for the care you have given me, and the respect for my problems, even when I felt they were stupid. You reassured me and I felt able to say things I’ve never said before.”
Whether you are completely new to therapy or have had therapy before, you are welcome to get in touch to see whether working together feels right for you.

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.
