Qualifications - Links to websites:

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (Registration IMF 84320), as well as a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (ID# 00956447).

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over ten years and have been licensed in the USA since 2013.  During my career, I have worked with substance abusers, people on probation and parole, school-aged children and their families, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.  I have also served as the Clinic Manager for the Dore Urgent Care Clinic in San Francisco, California, where I helped people stabilise from psychiatric crises.

My experience has included working with people from a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, of differing ages, income levels, religions, and gender identities.  My approach is to always operate from a position of respect and admiration for the ways in which the people I work with are different from me.

Starting with a new therapist can be a challenging experience, and it's important that each person receive counselling from someone who will be a good fit for them. I offer a free 50-minute introductory session to all individuals or couples, so that you can decide whether or not you would like to continue working with me at no cost or obligation.

After the initial session, the price is £50 per 50-minute individual session

All sessions are conducted via online video call.  Payments can be made via debit/credit card or bank transfer, and payment is expected at end of each session.

There is a £25 cancellation fee for any sessions cancelled within 24 hours.
