My training and practice as a therapist
Training and practice
I completed my post-graduate training at Westminster Pastoral Foundation (WPF Therapy) in London, a long-standing and highly respected trainer in psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapy and a founder member of the British Association for Psychotherapy and Counselling (BACP). Westminster Pastoral Foundation celebrated 50 years as an institution before closing its doors in 2023.
I spent five years training. This included undertaking 400 hours of intensively supervised clinical work in WPF’s low-cost London clinic.
Having re-located to Bath in 2017, I now work as a psychotherapist in private practice offering therapy to patients of all ages often over the medium to long term. I also enjoy my role as a training therapist to students of psychotherapy and counselling from Bath and the surrounding area.
Ethics
I abide by the ethics of UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), which sets a professional code of practice for matters of confidentiality, supervision, and continuing professional development as well as complaints. In accordance with this, I meet regularly for supervision with a senior psychoanalyst ensuring that my work is of the highest professional standard.

Am I the right therapist for you?
Finding someone with whom you can build up a trusting relationship is essential for treatment to be effective. The best way to find out if you might be comfortable enough with me to do that is to make an appointment for an initial consultation. It is also my opportunity to get to know you a little and to establish whether I believe that I can help you.
