About me
I offer counselling and psychotherapy for adults in North London, close to Finsbury Park (N4).
Psychotherapy offers an invitation to speak, as freely and truthfully as you can, about what is most important to you.
Together, we will examine difficulties in relationships, at work, with sexuality, your body or identity, as they matter to you presently and practically, while making full use of the wealth of information from your unconscious, past and inner life. This approach can be useful to people who wish to forge their own solutions, as well as for people who wish to appreciate something difficult or confusing that has affected them over time. People who come to see me tend to feel overwhelmed or worn out by their circumstances, or have experience of traumatic events, otherness, oppression, unlovedness.
In psychoanalytic psychotherapy, symptoms are understood as psychic solutions that keep unbearable and potentially destabilising feelings and thoughts from our consciousness. When these symptoms cease to function properly, people begin to feel depressed, anxious, overwhelmed. Rather than treating symptoms as causes for illness that need to be removed, we will instead look at them as sources of knowledge that can help you (re)gain stability and adaptability in the future.
What we learn through this process will be gathered, reorganised and put together anew to open up different ways of relating, living, speaking and dreaming.
Training, qualifications & experience
My experience spans more than 10 years of working with people who experience psychosis as part of a specialised community service (Psychosis Therapy Project). I also work in private practice and as a senior counsellor and assessment worker for a low-cost counselling service (Highbury Counselling Centre). Before that, I volunteered for Mind in Enfield & Barnet's talking therapy service, as well as a children's mental health organisation (Kids Company), where I offered counselling to teachers, parents and pupils.
My background is in psychology, mental health and research. Prior to counselling, I ran a mental health day service for women (Islington Mind) and worked in various residential communities supporting people in recovery with complex mental health difficulties and experience of complex trauma (CHT; promente). I also worked as a psychology research assistant developing specialist mentoring training for trainee teachers (University of Salzburg, Austria).
I studied Psychology (BSc), focusing on clinical and social psychology (University of Salzburg, 2014), followed by post-graduate training in Counselling Psychology (MSc), specialising in psychodynamic counselling (City University London, 2016). Since 2021, I have been training additionally in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy at the SITE for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.
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.
