Counselling and Psychotherapy in Crystal Palace, Bromley, South East London
Welcome to my website.
My experience
I am an integrative psychotherapist, UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and a Registered and Senior Accredited member of the BACP. I have been working as a therapist since 1999 in a variety of organisations, most recently the London Fire Brigade. Currently I have a private practice for Counselling and Psychotherapy based in Anerley near to Crystal Palace, Bromley with good access from central and SE London including Forest Hill, Penge and Norwood.
I aim to provide a safe and confidential space in which you and I can explore and address your difficulties, so you may find a more fulfilling way of being in the world. Central to my work is understanding and working from your unique perspective and values in order to support you to find a way forward that fits for you. This includes appreciating and working with each of our similarities and differences around identity and life experiences, visible or invisible, and the different opportunities or difficulties that may have created. I work in a collaborative and creative way, drawing on the skills and range of therapeutic interventions I have learnt over the course of my career to support this work.
I have experience of supporting clients with:
- relationship and family difficulties
- bereavement and loss
- depression and anxiety
- stress both work-related and life stressors
- trauma including post-traumatic stress disorder
- issues around sexuality and gender identity
- work issues including bullying, redundancy etc.

I have skills and knowledge in doing preventative work for those working in risk environments, managing the impact immediately after a traumatic incident or addressing the longer term impact including Post Traumatic Stress disorder. I was also Chair of the Trauma Network (London) for 2 years.
