I trained at WPF Therapy and at the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF), the UK's leading psychotherapy training institutions. Both are accredited by the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Over a total of 6 years, my training included compulsory personal analysis with a Senior Analyst, academic study in psychoanalytic theory, and extensive supervised clinical work.
I am a registered full member of the following professional bodies and institutions and I adhere to their professional and ethical standards.

Clinical and Professional Experience
I worked as an Honorary Counsellor in the NHS, specifically with the Community Living Well service under the Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust. This role provided me with valuable experience in delivering psychological therapies to a diverse client base, further enriching my practice.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I lived and worked in senior positions in Europe and the Middle East, experiences that have shaped the perspective I bring to my practice. My years in the corporate world have given me insight into how cultural, societal, and professional pressures can impact one’s sense of self.
Volunteering has been an important part of my journey, from offering support to blind and partially sighted Londoners with the charity BlindAid to helping out in the refugee camps of Lesbos, during the European refugee crisis. These experiences quietly inform the perspective I bring to therapy.
