I am a Charted Counselling Psychologist with chartered membership status with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and accredited by the Health Care and Professions Council (HCPC) with over 10 years of experience.

I am trained in the three core psychotherapeutic approaches, person-centred or humanistic therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) including third wave approaches, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness based approaches i.e. MBSR and Compassion Focused Therapy. I am also trained to deliver eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), which is a widely reputed as one of the best forms of therapy in the treatment of trauma and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessment and ADHD informed therapy/coaching.

I am experienced in supporting clients experiencing varying degrees of anxiety disorders, depression, psychotic disorders, trauma, relationship difficulties, physical health conditions and work-related stress. I have also worked with clients individually, and facilitated couples therapy and work-place reflective practice.

As well as my private practice, I am also employed as a Principal Counselling Psychologist, which is one grade below Consultant, at the London based NHS Trust, Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. I have previously worked at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as a Highly Specialist Counselling Psychologist and Forensic Psychiatry in East London NHS Foundation Trust. Additionally, I was invited by Blink Mental Health charity to support their campaign in their offer of psychological support sessions to festival attendees at Camp Wildfire Festival 2022 and Howthelightgetsin Festival 2023 and am a featured contributor to the Huffington Post Love Stuck column and Happiful Magazine.

Regarding my educational background I completed an undergraduate Bachelors of Science degree with honours (BSc Hons) in Psychology, a postgraduate Masters of Science (MSc) degree in Clinical and Community Psychology and a doctorate in Counselling Psychology (PsychD). As much as I am trained to identify and understand medical diagnostic labels associated with mental health difficulties and their accompanying symptoms, my training was also very much embedded in understanding the personal experience of the distress and the impact this has on the life of the person I am supporting with therapy.
