Title
Chartered Counselling Psychologist
Who am I?
I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience working in the charity sector, the NHS, and the private sector, with my own private practice based in London. I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS).
I have a special interest in perinatal work, and possess extensive experience working with fertility issues, pregnancy anxiety, fear of childbirth, birth trauma, and loss connected with miscarriage and stillbirth, as well as relationship issues and parenting issues. I also work with women who have experienced breastfeeding difficulties, and I am a qualified and skilled breastfeeding counsellor.

My style
I am trained to work using various psychotherapeutic models including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), cognitive analytic therapy (CAT), compassion focussed therapy (CFT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), but believe strongly in tailoring the therapy to fit the needs of each individual client rather than fitting the client into a particular type of therapy.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we can work together to create empowerment and positive change. Therapy can provide the safe space and time needed to facilitate this change.
