Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in London
I use a range of models within my work including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Narrative therapy.
I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years experience working within health and mental health settings. I currently lead an innovative NHS wellbeing service for young people alongside offering private therapy for individuals.
My approaches centre around collaboration, creativity and drawing on individual’s strengths and resources to help them in navigating challenging times. I aim to build strong relationships and believe in empowering others to fulfil their potential in whatever ways are important to them. Therapy can be helpful for many different reasons and can enable us to build skills that can help us throughout our lives.

Although my training encompassed a wide range of approaches, I developed a particular interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as it encourages clients to engage with life's challenges in an open and values-driven way, rather than trying to eliminate discomfort or uncertainty.
I work with both individuals and couples experiencing a range of issues including anxiety and depression, relationship problems, self-esteem issues, addiction and bereavement.

My main treatment approaches are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy ( ACT) and EMDR.
I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

Therapeutically I primarily draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and EMDR after seeing the benefits of these therapies on my own life and those I have worked with.
I am a Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapist and EMDR Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the field. I am passionate about helping you to create a life that is rich and fulfilling, where fears, self-doubt or other difficult thoughts or feelings, don't hold you back. I work with individuals experiencing a broad range of difficulties. This may include struggling with distressing thoughts or memories, experiencing emotions or sensations that feel overwhelming, lacking a sense of purpose and meaning or feeling stuck and unable to take positive action in life.

My approach is broadly integrative, drawing on several evidence-based models of therapy including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT).
I am a HCPC registered Forensic Psychologist with over 8 years experience working in specialist mental health settings within the NHS. Much of my work within the NHS has involved working with complex trauma and relationship difficulties. My areas of expertise include trauma/PTSD and associated coping behaviours including addictions, self-harm and other behavioural issues. I will provide a non-judgmental, thoughtful and reflective space in which we can explore current problems and identify patterns of relating.

Many of us will experience difficult moments in our lives which may leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I’m glad that you have taken the first step to seek support and share what has been going on for you. My aim is to provide a safe space for you to be able to express and understand how you have been feeling, in addition to helping you identify your personal strengths and resources. Some clients hope to gain specific tools and strategies to manage feelings such as low mood or anxiety, whilst others seek a space to talk openly about a particular situation and reflect on its impact on their day-to-day life and wellbeing.

I work with evidence-based therapeutic models, including CBT, ACT and EMDR.
You may be struggling with a clearly defined issue or general 'stuckness in life'. Maybe you need to understand what it is. You may have experienced it for long or a new difficulty intruding in your life. Possibly something you are keeping from others or maybe someone has suggested you seek help for it. It may affect only you or your relationship with loved ones. Maybe you are seeking help with a couple issue you've tried to work on with your partner. You may feel hopeless, having tried everything to solve it. In any case, therapy can be used to make sense of the situation and think of a strategy to move forward towards your goals.

As a Clinical Psychologist and trauma specialist, I use CBT, ACT, and Schema Therapy to fit your needs.
Feeling stuck can be overwhelming, whether due to a life transition, a specific event, or a growing sense that things aren’t aligning with who you are. You might feel lost, anxious, or held back by patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe you struggle with self-doubt, relationship challenges, or the weight of past experiences. You want clarity, confidence, and a sense of direction but aren’t sure how to get there. Therapy offers space to reconnect with yourself, break unhelpful cycles, and move forward in a way that feels right. You don’t need all the answers—just a place to reflect, gain insight, and create meaningful change.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches (e.g. person-centred approach, CBT, compassionate-focused therapy, acceptance commitment therapy, systematic approach, and psychodynamic approach).
Finding the right therapist is like trying to find the perfect puzzle piece for your life. It's not always easy, and I get that. I understand the struggle and the importance of connecting with someone who really "gets" you. Life can throw all sorts of curveballs, and talking about it with someone can be a game-changer. Picture me as a friendly guide on this journey – someone who listens without judgment, and is genuinely interested in your story.

Connecting with the body opens a route to self- acceptance, and I will draw on experiential techniques to enable this.
Are you going through major transitions and life changes? Is the post-pandemic world increasingly baffling and anxiety provoking? Do you want to let go of self-defeating patterns, learn to tolerate discomfort and cope with uncertainty?

Substance misuse could have ensued as a way of coping with stress or past traumatic experiences. Relationships might be impaired resulting in trust issues, conflict, infidelity. You might be experiencing sexuality issues like low sexual desire, E.D. or you might want to explore sexuality, kink, polyamorous and open relationships.

The essence of the therapy I offer is to create that safe place for your story to be told so that, together, we are able to make sense of how you have come to reach where you are in your life and what might be getting in the way of you moving past the difficulties you are facing.
