I am a member of UKCP (the UK Council for Psychotherapy) and BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy).
I hold a PGDip and MSc in Humanistic Psychotherapy and trained for five years at Metanoia Institute, a major centre for psychotherapy training in London.
As well as running my own psychotherapy practice, I have worked as a Counsellor at the West London Centre for Counselling in Hammersmith, a charity counselling service that works in partnership with NHS IAPT Services and Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service in Ealing.
I have a deep interest in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy and yoga. I have a three decade long personal practice of yoga and am a qualified yoga teacher accredited with the British Wheel of Yoga. I am also the founder of the Garden Studio in West London where I have been teaching yoga for 15 years.
My belief in the integration of mind and body and the importance of raising awareness of both when working psychotherapeutically means that I use some tools, such as breath awareness, grounding and relaxation techniques to help my clients.
