About Me

It can be a daunting prospect to share personal thoughts and feelings
with someone you know little about. On this page I hope to give you
an idea of who I am and what I bring to the role of therapist.

Qualifications And Experience
During my professional training, over a 6 year period, I obtained a Post Graduate Diploma and Masters Degree at The Gestalt Centre London, accredited by the London Metropolitan University. I am now an accredited psychotherapist by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and adhere to their code of ethics.

Since training, I have worked within the NHS as a counsellor in GP surgeries and in a psychiatric hospital. I currently work part-time at the Priory Hospital, where I see individual clients and run therapy and psycho-educational groups for adults and adolescents on issues such as self-esteem, assertiveness and depression. I also provide psychological support and guidance to the clients of The Genius Trader, a professional trading consultancy.

I believe psychotherapy is essentially a creative process between therapist and client as I help you to find a new perspective on your life. Prior to my professional training, I worked as a designer and creative director within the advertising industry and have found this creative and artistic background an important resource as a psychotherapist.

My experience of working under the pressures of the commercial and corporate sectors, in a number of different roles, and of having travelled widely, have proved invaluable in my work with individuals and groups, adding to the depth of experience which I feel is important to be able to offer my clients.

My interest in understanding how people think and behave has led to a number of written contributions to publications such as Psychologies magazine and the website, Big White Wall.
