Accredited and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist in East London & online
I am a psychotherapist, counsellor and Certified Transactional Analyst. I am qualified at Master’s Degree level and hold both UKCP Registration and MBACP Accreditation.
At my private practice in East London, I work with individual adults and couples to explore a wide range of common and complex issues. I facilitate groups and workshops and support social care agencies, statutory and voluntary organisations. I also support clients internationally, working with them online.
I have experience working with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues which I have acquired in various clinical settings. I have worked in NHS and charity settings, providing therapy to individuals who have experienced severe depression and anxiety, issues of sense of self, and survivors of trauma.
Alongside working as a psychotherapist, I have been involved in the developing of a community TA training course in London – TA East Institute.
In my work, I draw on various modalities, however, I hold Relational Transactional Analysis as my core model. I integrate ideas from relational neuroscience, Jungian analysis, ecotherapy, and embodied approaches to life and therapy. Although my approach is rooted in Western psychology, I recognise the value in wisdom from other cultures and traditions and am curious in how psychotherapy is developing to meet the needs of the changing world.
