About me

I am registered Chartered Psychologists with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC).I have over 10 years clinical experience in the NHS, private health care including The Priory Hospital, and private counselling practice.

I work mainly from a Cognitive Behavioural perspective (CBT) and additionally use psychodynamic, person-centered and self-help principles to work with the range of problems people experience.

Together we decide which therapeutic approach would benefit you at different stages in your therapy. My role involves a collaboration with you, my aim is to enable you to develop a better understanding of yourself by reflecting upon your difficulties and encouraging you to consider and implement alternative responses to your difficulties.

Individual therapy can offer a private safe space in which to explore difficult issues with a trained professional. It’s an opportunity to take a closer look any underlying issues and a space to work out ways to manage difficult feelings. Individual therapy can be process orientated; where you reflect upon past experience, and/or it can be goal focused; where you focus in on problematic behaviour, feelings or thinking styles.

I offer short-term and open ended face to face therapy, and video and telephone consultations. Sessions are available on week day, evenings and weekends.

Services are offered from various London Based Venues.
