I offer psychotherapy in a warm, friendly, non-judgemental space. It can be short-term or long-term depending on your needs. My psychotherapeutic style is warm, relational and down to earth.
Therapeutic change can come about from talking about difficult elements of life such as trauma's, challenges in relationships, self-esteem.
I am UKCP registered and have over 15 years training and experience with a very wide range of issues and mental health conditions.
After realising that a career in Physics wasn't for me I embarked on a journey into meditation and psychotherapy. This journey helped me find meaning, purpose and alleviated my suffering. In my late twenties I moved to London from Manchester and decided to study psychotherapy formally.
I completed a foundation course at the CCPE in transpersonal psychotherapy. This is a kind of psychotherapy that considers spirituality and looks for deeper meaning in suffering. I then studied for four years at the Minster Centre to obtain a diploma and master's in psychotherapy and counselling. This training was in integrative psychotherapy, this tradition focusses on relationships, questions of meaning, family structures, intergenerational trauma, systemic oppression.
I realised that alongside individual change society needs to change and became interested in political and social action. At this time I started researching and writing and published a book chapter, peer-reviewed article and online blogs that focused on the individual and society. I then completed a PhD at the University of Edinburgh focussing on these issues in relation to psychotherapy and psychoanalysis.
I then completed a diploma in supervision at the Minster Centre completing a year course which had a focus on relational psychotherapy practice, identity and systemic oppression and inequality. I am currently training to be a Lacanian Psychoanalyst with the New Lacanian School and deepening my meditation journey with the North London Buddhist Centre.
My therapy practice brings together many of the skills and interests listed above. I adopt a neutral and non-judgemental approach meaning I am open to learning about you as a person, your perspective on life and whatever you are struggling with. Having explored my own journey and suffering in depth, I now create this space for other people.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
