Why would you consider therapy? There could be all sorts of reasons, whether a specific issue or circumstance, or just a desire to better understand yourself, your life and your relationships with others.

I’m a BACP accredited psychotherapist with an MA in psychotherapy and counselling. I work in Denmark Hill, with over 15 years' experience of offering both short and long term therapy.

I view therapy as a joint process, a way to make sense of things in a safe, non-judgemental environment. I aim to work creatively and collaboratively with you. I don’t view myself as the expert on your life, but someone who can explore with you the things that give it meaning. I will ask you questions to open things up or to get specific. Therapy with me is a space for you to think about and explore what you want to and to focus on what you want for yourself. 

You might have a particular issue you wish to think about, for example anxiety, depression, psychosomatic illness, bereavement, pregnancy and parenthood, relationship difficulties, sexual issues, addiction, cultural issues or low self-esteem. Or you might just feel that this is the right time to explore and discuss your life, your choices and expectations, and any changes you want to make.

Is an opportunity for you to think about what brings you to therapy, your goals and what you want from therapy. And whether you feel comfortable enough to continue working with me.

I am an accredited, qualified integrative psychotherapist and supervisor and I offer supervision to psychotherapists and counsellors in a variety of settings including private practice. I have 15 years' experience in psychotherapy practice.

My aim is to work with you in a collabarative and creative way. I combine thinking from trauma theory, psychodynamic therapy, psychodrama, and existential and humanistic thinking to find a way of working that suits you. We can review regularly and I am here to provide a safe, supportive space to help you in working with your clients. I am also interested in helping you think about what you want to achive both personally and professionally.

My MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling is from Regent's College and I also have a BPS Approved Certificate in Clinical Supervision. My more recent training includes Couples work, Trauma work, and Creativity in Therapy and Psychodrama. I also teach Counselling Skills for The Counselling Foundation.

I currently work either online or in person.
