About me
I am a fully qualified, accredited psychotherapist and counsellor who holds MA in Psychology and Psychoanalysis. I also completed three years training and qualified with a diploma in psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. Over the last twenty years, I have worked in a variety of education institutions in London as well as in my private office at w11psychotherapy.co.uk in Notting Hill.
My expertise includes dealing with psychological difficulties which relate to personality disorders, including BPD (EUPD) and other conditions such as ADHD and OCD. I use psychodynamic and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy combined with Mentalisation -based techniques to help clients to learn how to regulate high emotional vulnerabilities such as fear of rejection, social anxieties, extreme emotional swings, impulsivity, chronic feelings of emptiness, rage and depression.
It is important that we work together on identifying and setting therapy goals. By taking a collaborative approach, I can help you to build trust and ensure that you feel empowered and invested in wanting to get better. In time, it is possible to modify your emotional responses and increase your confidence in dealing with distressing situations, resilience and build a life experienced as worth living and happy.
In addition to an experience, competence, and common sense, I use humour, warmth, and empathy to create a sense of ease and comfort in sessions. I always follow the principles of confidentiality and congruence, valuing individual difference, and finding one's own path.
I am an accredited member of BACP, and I strictly follow its ethical framework. Online sessions available.

BACP accredited member
Member organisations
school 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.
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).
