About Me
As you consider the possibility of us working together, you may like to find out more about me.
I am accredited with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Association of Core Process Psychotherapists (ACPP), and I’ve been seeing Psychotherapy clients for over six years, since February 2019.
I hold a master’s degree (MA) in Mindfulness-based Core Process Psychotherapy awarded by Middlesex University in collaboration with the Karuna Institute.
Prior to the MA, I completed a year-long Foundation certificate with the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education, in Paddington, London.
Until 2022, I worked for three years at a community Psychotherapy & Counselling Centre in Hackney, East London, alongside seeing private clients.
My Journey
I have been on the path of self-understanding and embodiment since 2009, when I first experienced therapy and begun a meditation practice.
Since then, I've engaged an ongoing enquiry into the nature of myself, life and the world, through various practices and modalities.
Some recent areas of study for me have been Systems (or Ecological) thinking, Feminist and Queer Theory in relation to psychotherapy; and examining the constructs of race, and whiteness.
My Background
I was born in North London and have lived here most of my life, except for university and a couple of stretches abroad.
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a teacher, trainer and supervisor of secular Mindfulness, working for a charity called the 'Mindfulness in Schools Project'.
Before that I worked for several years as a secondary school teacher in East London.
I enjoy adventuring in nature, reading fiction, playing guitar, dance, and following my local team, Arsenal.
UKCP Registered
I work in accordance with the UKCP Ethical Principles and Code of Professional Conduct. All of my work is conducted under regular supervison by an experienced, accredited UKCP supervisor.
