Gestalt psychotherapistAbout Me
Accredited Member MBACP (Accred.)
MA Gestalt Psychotherapy (Distinction)
UKCP Diploma in Individual and Group Psychotherapy
BACP-Accredited Diploma in Counselling
I'm an individual, relationship and group counsellor/psychotherapist in a GP surgery and in private practice, an honorary psychotherapist for Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust, and a registered psychotherapy practitioner with the British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM) and Help Musicians UK Music Minds Matter.
My style is warm and empathetic. Sessions can feel reflective, with two-way dialogue; other times playful and creative. My aim is not to interpret or define you, but to support you to define yourself. Where appropriate, I incorporate creative aspects such as drawing, music, movement, dream, object and chair work. I don't give advice but focus on getting to the crux of your underlying feelings when you remove society's expectations from the picture.
I'm the author of 'How to Understand and Deal with Stress', published by Summersdale/Hachette, and a freelance journalist specialising in music and mental health. I'm the founder, host and producer of the music and mental health podcast Sound Affects, featured in NME's 'Podcast for the People' series and in Therapy Today. I routinely appear in the press and media on therapy/mental health related issues, including BBC, Psychologies and The Independent. I spent many years working in magazine, newspaper and journal publishing.
Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a Samaritans helpline listener for 4 years, supporting people with suicidal feelings. I also worked for Samaritans as a copywriter during their male-suicide research campaign, my banners for which appear across the London tube and nationwide railway network. I have lots of empathy in this area. I also worked as a life coach for vulnerable Looked After children leaving care for MIND, a university counsellor for Regent's Uni, and a mental health mentor for London Met Uni.
