About me
I am a qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor in Victoria, Central London, registered with the BACP, with over twenty years experience. After discussion with you, I use different approaches to help with your concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, low self esteem, family or relationship issues, anger, work issues, bereavement, or other problems. I offer a concession of a free initial session.
This can include helping you to :
- look at how your past experiences affect your current relationships, feelings and behaviour;
- identify and change negative thoughts about yourself; contact and explore difficult feelings; and become aware of more aspects of yourself and of your potential.
Counselling and Psychotherapy offer a safe, supportive way of looking at personal issues.
I believe that we are each a unique and complex expression of life, and I will work with you to help you express more of your reality.

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.

Further information
I have a special interest in working with dreams, and will encourage clients to explore their dreams if they wish to do so. In my experience, our night-time dreams can often give us information about our current states which can be valuble in working in the therapy.
