About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I started part-time practice with clients in early 2012 and in 2016, became an accredited psychotherapist with the UKCP. It was at the point of accreditation that I moved fully into the broader counselling and psychotherapy field, after having studied, researched and worked in the engineering and policy development fields for almost two decades. In addition to seeing clients privately, I have also volunteered as a therapist at a number of charities, including LGBT Health and Well Being and Gay Men’s Health (charities in Edinburgh). I currently have availability to see new clients at my practice in Bloomsbury, Central London (Mondays) and online (Thursdays).

Experience and approach:

I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist experienced at working across a range of areas, including:

work-related stress,
depression, anxiety,
sexuality,
relationship issues,
sexuality,
neurodivergence,
major life transitions and changes
and low self-esteem.

My psychotherapy training is in a mindfulness based approach called Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP). This particular approach integrates concepts of mindfulness and awareness with modern psychological perspectives and practice.

Mindfulness is about meeting whatever is happening in the present moment with awareness, compassion, warmth and non-judging acceptance. All therapists aim to provide a therapeutic space imbued with these qualities. In the case of mindfulness-based counsellors and psychotherapists, these qualities are underpinned by their own awareness and mindfulness practices.

Mindfulness also comes into our work together in other ways. We may bring awareness to what arises in the here-and-now as we talk and explore together. This might include noticing thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations as they arise in the present moment
