PIC 2 bwI am a qualified psychotherapist 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 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, somatic therapies, and the impact of marginalisation. I am currently training as a yoga teacher and I invite clients to involve their bodies in their psychotherapeutic work.

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 range of 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)
  • Dissociation
  • Issues linked to gender, sexuality or relationship diversity
  • Intergenerational and transgenerational trauma
  • Racial trauma and internalised racism
  • Parenting difficulties
  • Child abuse (physical, sexual or emotional abuse or neglect)
  • Domestic abuse (psychological, emotional, sexual, physical and financial abuse)
  • Hearing voices
  • Intrusive thoughts and rumination
  • Self-harm
  • Low self-esteem or self-confidence
  • Sexual difficulties
  • Addiction
  • Bereavement and loss
  • Suicidal thoughts or feelings
  • Burnout and vicarious trauma
  • Shame
