About me

I'm an experienced and qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist that began working as a counsellor in 2000. My clinical experience is based on working with a diverse clientele group in various settings, including the NHS and primary schools providing play therapy. I've also taught a highly subscribed counselling skills course in London.

My expertise

I'm skilled at working with difficult childhood experiences and a broad range of difficulties:

  • anxiety, anger and depression
  • abuse and trauma
  • addiction
  • bereavement, loss and social isolation
  • health, sexual and reproduction 
  • identity
  • relationships and parenting
  • suicidal thoughts and self-harming

I have substantial experience working with:

  • those who've experienced sexual assault and childhood sexual abuse
  • parents of children struggling with mental health
  • counselling trainees

My approach

My work is informed by a psychodynamic approach. 

Psychodynamic counselling is an active form of therapy without being directive. It looks at relationship dynamics, past experiences, perceptions and unconscious actions to determine the source of emotional turmoil. 

Self awareness occurs by exploring both known and unknown aspects of your experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment. 

When self awareness grows, patterns that block potential are identified, understood and addressed and choices made are more informed.

My qualifications

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a widely known and respected professional body. I adhere to the BACP's strict code of ethics, standards of practice and confidentiality guidelines.

I am a registered member of the United Kingdom Register of Counsellors/Psychotherapists (UKRCP). I have a Bachelor of Arts (BA) Psychology degree from the University of Oregon.
