I am a chartered counselling psychologist and registered psychotherapist in private practice in Canary Wharf in the Docklands of East London (E14). I am recognised by the UK's leading professional organisations for counselling, psychotherapy and psychology including the BACP and the UKCP and I have chartered membership with the BPS. For details of my qualifactions and credetials, please click here. I have a strong academic background and am a doctoral researcher on the links between childhood trauma and emotional difficulties in adulthood and I have collaborated with research teams at a well-known children's charity and an NHS Foundation Trust on this.
I combine my leaning towards academic accomplishment with a down-to-earth and approachable manner in working with clients. I have worked clincially in a number of settings and with clients from a variety of backgrounds and presenting difficulties. These settings have spanned hospital contexts, not-for-profit organisations as well as private practice. I currently work with leading insurance and Employee Assistance Programmes to meet the high-quality service demands of their corporate clients. I also accept GP referrals in Tower Hamlets and am experienced in working with a range of concerns. I am also very pleased to hear from private individuals considering entering counselling and so I have endeavoured to make my practice as accessible as possible in terms of affordability, disability and diversity.
On a more personal note, I am South-African born and have been living in London for the previous 14 years. On relocating myself in the UK, I set about establishing dual career paths. Before dedicating my career to psychotherapy and psychology, I also worked in pressurised high-profile environments in the not-for-profit sector. The blend of my two cultural and professional backgrounds helps me bring a grounded and practical stance to what might seem like lofty and inaccessible psychological ideas. I enjoy communicating this knowledge to a lay audience and below are some of my contributions through the press.
