About Me

Are you facing a tough time, feeling lost and struggling with confusing and difficult emotions?

Would you like to wake up tomorrow feeling different from today?

I am a fully qualified UKCP accredited and BACP registered psychotherapist trained in adult psychotherapy and counselling. I have NHS and private practice experience of helping people with various challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, bereavement, anger, childhood / adult trauma and loss.

I offer a calm and trusting environment where you can communicate honestly and work through your life experiences, worries and hopes in a confidential safe space - perhaps for the first time.

My approach to therapy

We are all individuals with a unique way of being in the world. I work as an Integrative Psychotherapist, meaning I draw on various theories and approaches personally suited to your unique needs.

The experience of being listened to non-judgementally, feeling heard and understood can bring deep relief from distress. Such greater self-awareness can set you on a new path with yourself and others.

My approach is exploratory, supportive, and collaborative. Initially, you may find it helpful for us to explore your past in order to understand links with your present patterns of behaviour, attachment relationships and feelings. We can then work out your true needs and what choices may achieve them in a positive and practical way.

Experience

I am an accredited member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy and registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work with adults across all age groups, backgrounds and levels of distress and offer short and long-term therapy at my private practices and also online.

Besides private practice, I work as an honorary psychotherapist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) - one of the UK's leading providers of mental health services, where I work with patients suffering from childhood and adult trauma, on one-year contracts.

I have also conducted short-term psychotherapy in a residential drug and alcohol substance abuse rehabilitation centre.

I trained at Regent's University School of Psychotherapy and Psychology in London - a renowned training institution for psychotherapy and I also completed the Introductory Lectures and Seminars at the Institute of Psychoanalysis.

Fees

Session fees are from £85. I hold some reduced-fee spaces for those who might need them. Regular weekly sessions last for 50 minutes.

I offer a free twenty-minute initial video or phone consultation to assess and explore your presenting issues. This will give you a feel for how I work and allow you to express your hopes and expectations for therapy and ask any questions you may have. You would then usually come on a weekly basis for 50-minute sessions at a regular time and day.

I have completed a five year postgraduate clinical and academic training leading to UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) accreditation (No: 2011182780) and am also a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registered integrative psychotherapist (No: 399568).
