I trained at The Gestalt Centre, London's leading institute for counselling and psychotherapy based on Gestalt principles, and at CPPD, one of the leading Humanistic Integrative counselling training schools in the UK.
I hold a Certificate in Humanistic Counselling, a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. I hold a level three diploma in yoga and in pre- and postnatal fitness and a certificate in Ecotherapy.
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and I abide by their ethics, standards and practices. I am a member of the Birth Trauma Association.
I am a qualified journalist and worked in journalism and communications prior to retraining. I now write, provide talks and workshops on mental health related subjects.

An initial assessment meeting will help us to determine together which type of therapy is in your best interests. This will give us the chance to establish whether we will be a good fit for each other and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about our sessions or counselling in general.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss any workshop or talks in further detail.
I am currently researching a thesis on the topic of the impact upon the client when their therapist becomes pregnant.
I have limited capacity currently. However, I always welcome and seriously consider any relevant commissions proposed.
