I am available at my London clinic on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Hello and welcome to my Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ profile page; I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor with over twelve years of experience in offering counselling and psychotherapy to individuals and organisations. I work in London and Southend-on-Sea and I am able to offer you in-person and online therapy.

My training and experience

I have experience of working in NHS settings, the criminal justice system, corporate companies, and in the charity sector. I offer short-term and open-ended counselling and psychotherapy for individuals and organisations, clinical supervision for training organisations, individual clinical supervision for therapists, and reflective practice facilitation for organisations.

I trained at the Chelmsford Counselling Foundation, but my core clinical training took place with WPF Therapy. I have recently undertaken further training with the Society of Analytical Psychology (The SAP).

I am accredited by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (the UKCP) and The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (The FPC). Both organisations uphold the highest of standards for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I am also a member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ. I have an Enhanced criminal record check provided by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

I have experience of working with individuals who present with diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, one or more of the many different types of personality disorder, and with individuals who experience psychotic states of mind. That said, anyone can engage in therapy at any time, and, for any reason. Most people who seek counselling and psychotherapy with me do not come with a diagnosis; they come because they are struggling with what’s going on in their life and/or what’s going on in their mind, and they are looking for change.  

Each therapy session lasts for 50 minutes, and sessions usually take place on the same day and at the same time each week. Before you start therapy, we will meet for an initial consultation. The purpose of this meeting is to begin to think and talk about some of the issues that have been affecting you. It also allows you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about counselling and psychotherapy and whether short-term or open-ended is the best model for you. You are welcome to contact me by e-mail, website enquiry or by telephone, and I am open to having a short telephone conversation before arranging any appointments.

The initial consultation is the first time we meet. You may find that some therapists offer this first session for free. I do not do that. Instead, I ask that we meet for 90 minutes and spend this time getting to know each other, while exploring the reasons that prompted you to make contact. For me, the first session is arguably, the most important of all therapy sessions because this may be the first time you are talking and thinking about your difficulties, and it’s important that we treat this time, and you, with respect and care.

My specialist areas are human development and trauma. The way in which we develop from children into adults impacts upon how we function and cope with everyday life situations, and not just the big life-changing events that one may consider to be a traumatic event, although these are important. Having worked in residential services with NHS commissioned patients for several years, I appreciate the impact of developmental and historical trauma, and how this impacts upon the everyday in terms of our relationships with others and how we cope.  

I am now offering EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) psychotherapy.

Each therapy session lasts for 50 minutes, and sessions usually take place on the same day and at the same time each week. Before you start therapy, we will meet for an initial consultation.

I am able to offer clinical supervision for you as a group, or to you as an individual practitioner.

Most clinical supervision takes place either weekly or fortnightly, although if you are just starting out into private practice, you may wish to start with a monthly supervision arrangement until your practice has grown.  

I have been supervising trainee and qualified therapists since 2018 both in private practice and in organisations.

I gained my Diploma in Supervision from the Society of Analytical Psychology.

Before we agree to work together, I suggest we meet for a brief introductory meeting, which can be in person or online, in order to decide whether we can work together
