About me

Before becoming a psychotherapist, I had a twenty-five-year career as a management consultant and business executive. I trained at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education (CCPE) through an initial one-year foundation and a four-year Post-Graduate Diploma. I then undertook a two-year research master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychotherapy via the University of Northampton. I began counselling at The Caravan, in St James’ Piccadilly, followed by three years as a therapist with FreshStart psychotherapy. In parallel, I also undertook an extensive psychiatric placement at the Maudsley Hospital as a member of the Chaplaincy. I now hold an in-person private practice at the CCPE in Little Venice, Paddington in London. I have a preference for in-person psychotherapy over online.

My approach to individual therapy

Many of us experience great difficulties at some point in our lives, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, distressed and alone. Yet, we often stop short of voicing our thoughts and feelings to those close to us for fear of upsetting or imposing ourselves on others. In my experience, life crises and change, whether in health, relationships, or work, are a call from that most private and creative part of ourselves, the soul. I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches (Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Gestalt, Existential & Transpersonal) and techniques (including talking therapy, sand-play, dreamwork, CBT, TA, breath work, creative imagination, somatic bodywork and mindfulness) and tailor them to the needs of each client. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and I create a more comprehensive and effective therapy through combination.
