About

Before practicing psychotherapy, I enjoyed a career as a solicitor and partner in a multi jurisdictional law firm, in the City of London.  

I am now an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and have an interest in the practice and development of psychoanalysis and particularly Lacanian psychoanalysis.  

I continue both my professional development and interest in psychoanalysis by attending the clinical training programme offered by the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research (CFAR) and the London Seminar of visiting French psychoanalyst, Jean-Gerard Bursztein. 

In addition to my private practice, I have worked as a volunteer therapist with the former charity, Kids Company, providing counselling to adults. I am involved in Bubble and Speak, a space for young children that encourages the development of their individuality through speech. Bubble and Speak is founded on the principles and ethos of the Maison Verte movement in Europe, following the work of French psychoanalyst, Francoise Dolto.
