About me
I help clients to feel clearer about themselves, their choices and life patterns. My work is grounded in forming a supportive and trusting relationship, where clients can explore what is troubling them at their own pace.
My practice is informed by existentialism, humanism, psychoanalysis, phenomenology but, above all, it is informed by my experience of sitting with different clients over many years as they try to make sense of their lives. I am used to dealing with a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, loss, panic attacks, relationship breakdowns, feeling lost or stuck. Despite this, I ultimately believe that every client’s personal experience is unique. By tuning into what my clients tell me, I help them to become more aware of underlying issues which shape their experience and relationships with others. In doing so, they may become better equipped to deal with their circumstances.
If you would like to arrange a session, please get in touch by phone or email. My sessions typically last 50 minutes (once or twice weekly). I offer in-person, online or telephone psychotherapy.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a postgraduate diploma in psychotherapy and phenomenology, and I am a registered member of the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling. Previously, I was a Samaritans volunteer and a counsellor at Third Age Counselling in London. I also work as an advisor for a national domestic abuse charity whilst I am the assistant editor of the European Journal of Psychotherapy and Counselling. Alongside my private psychotherapy practice in London and Colchester, I remain in continued professional development through the Southern Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling.
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).
