I am a BACP registered integrative psychotherapist in private practice in Kingston Upon Thames and Wimbledon, as well as online.

I hold an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling, along with a first-class Honours degree in Therapeutic Psychology. My earlier professional background was as a senior substance misuse practitioner in prisons and in mental health crisis support in community settings.

I work predominately with people struggling with destructive coping strategies. Examples of issues I work with include alcohol or substance addiction, food and binge-eating issues, and sex and love addictions. I have a very thorough working knowledge of the 12 Step approach to substance misuse recovery and rehabilitation, and I am happy to discuss therapeutic work with those in 12 step recovery which is complimentary and conducive to this recovery approach.

I am firmly committed to helping women working through complex issues surrounding motherhood and womanhood, including abuse, abortion, miscarriage and loss, as well as women facing social services interventions and care proceedings. I offer concessionary rates in these cases.

I am an advocate for personal autonomy and recognise the importance of equipping my clients to give properly informed consent to the labels and diagnoses attributed to them. For this reason I offer an atmosphere of collaboration and the sharing of my knowledge and experience.

My practice is relational, which means I use the experience of immersion in therapeutic relationship with a client to understand the ways in which she interacts with others, and with her environment, reducing the intensity and confusion of internal conflict by facilitating clarity and increasing awareness.

In addition, I work with a hospice on a regular basis, providing psychotherapy to those facing death and bereavement. If you would like to discuss end of life or bereavement therapy, please reach out.

I am happy to speak with you to discuss your hopes for therapy. Please use the contact page to get in touch.
