ABOUT ME

I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I trained at The Minster Centre in London, the UK's pioneering training institution for contemporary integrative psychotherapy and counselling. My psychotherapy qualification (MA) was awarded by Middlesex University. I offer individual therapy for adults. I abide by the Ethical Framework of the BACP and the UKCP Code of Ethics and Professional Practice.

 

I offer primarily long term psychotherapy and also short term counselling in my private practice. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, (C)PTSD, low self-esteem, family issues, low self-confidence, childhood sexual abuse, issues of diversity and difference, relationship difficulties,

women's issues including pelvic health, children of alcoholic parents, addiction, boarding school trauma, loss and bereavement, and issues of sexuality and identity. 

​

I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and integrate this model in my practice, where appropriate, to expedite insight and healing.

 

In addition to Private Practice, I have worked in NHS Secondary Care, treating patients with more complex needs through long-term psychotherapy, and in University and Community Counselling Services, providing short-term counselling.

​

I believe that every person contains within them the potential for their own growth and healing, for moving from self-criticism to self-compassion, and for creating the change they want to experience. My experience shows that therapy can make this possibility real.
