Male

I am a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Accredited Counsellor. I use humanistic and psychodynamic approaches in my client work. My clinical experience includes working for the NHS in the psychotherapy and counselling department of King's College Hospital in London where I offered short and medium length therapy to patients, their friends and families. I also worked for over three years with a bereavement service in north London. In my private counselling practice I create a safe, inviting environment in which my clients lead the sessions with whatever they choose to bring. I have a broad clinical experience in one-to-one therapy.

• British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) Accredited (MBACP Accred) Counsellor since 2011
• Advanced Diploma Counselling - Mary Ward Centre London (UK) 2008

I am committed to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in Counselling. I abide by the Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I create a safe and welcoming environment in my therapy room in central London. I hope to open up a therapeutic space where anything, anything at all can be talked about, shared and thought about. Our work, of course, is strictly confidential. Clients often find this sense of safety and freedom as an important part of their therapy.

I have a deep and on going commitment to my client's well being and emotional health.
