Hello

I offer counselling and psychotherapy. I initially studied Psychology before going to work in industry for over 20 years as a human understanding consultant and then studied Psycotherapy with social responsibility. I am now in advanced Psycotherpay training (graduate level). I have a private practice at my home in South London. I also work as a volunteer counsellor for South East London Mind (Herne Hill) and Face to Face Therapy (London, W1). I have regular clinical supervision to ensure the quality of client care, to support my professional and personal development, to reflect on contextual, cultural and ethical issues and for self-care.

I am a warm, open-minded person, and enjoy celebrating people’s different identities and work with them to see how they combine. I endeavour to bring a creative approach to therapy helping clients to join dots between parts of themselves. I have extensive knowledge of European and Latin American cultures from living abroad.
