My Approach

I am trained as an attachment based psychoanalytic psychotherapist. I also use other approaches and may recommend clients look to other specialists if it feels appropriate to their needs.
Looking at our upbringing and relationship history is key to my approach. Also our proffesional relationship as we work together and get to know each other is important and something we would talk about during the therapy.

About Me

I have been a mental health worker for 25 years as a nurse and as a therapist. I have also been a lecturer at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London. I now have a private practice in Peckham, South East London.
I have worked with people with a wide range of mental health problems. In addition to my training as an attachment based psychotherapist I have also trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and have worked with people who have difficulty with alcohol or drug use. I also work with people who take prescribed medications.


I am also a musician working with community choirs and orchestras. I have studied music in both Java and Thailand.

My clients include those who have had contact with mental health services, people who have suffered trauma and abuse, and those interested in developing themselves in both work and social spheres. Also people in the arts world and performers.
