PIC 2 bwI am a qualified psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience, practising both privately and within the third sector.  I hold a Clinical Diploma and MSc in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, a Post-Graduate Diploma in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counselling, and a Foundation Certificate in Interpersonal and Counselling Skills. I trained at the Metanoia Institute, one of the leading clinical and academic institutions for psychotherapy in the UK. I have also completed a yoga teacher training (200hr BWY Accredited) and I utilise this understanding of physiology in my psychotherapeutic work.

I am a registered member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and I abide by their ethical framework. I am therefore committed to my personal development as a practitioner: I attend regular clinical supervision and CPD to support my work. Areas of particular interest and specialism include trauma, couples work, group dynamics, and body-orientated psychotherapies.

As a yoga teacher and psychotherapist, I am interested in the relationship between our movements and physiology and our psychological state. This can become an explicit focus of the therapeutic work, for clients interested in exploring this intersection in their own lives.

For those interested in attending to their mental health via a primarily physical practice, I offer sessions based on therapeutic movement. For more information about this approach, please get in touch.

I have worked with clients from a range of cultural backgrounds, across a variety of settings, including at the Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service, Refugee Council, Highbury Counselling Centre, Centrepoint and Room to Heal.

I have experience of working with people suffering with a broad range difficulties, including:

  • Low mood and depression
  • Relationship difficulties (individual and couples work)
  • Generalised anxiety, social anxiety and panic attacks
  • Bullying
  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
