About me
I have a Postgraduate Diploma in Relationship Therapy from Relate, and a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Sussex. I am just completing my Psychosexual Professional Certificate with Relate. I have been in private practice for 12 years, & work with clients in London, the UK, & internationally.
I also work for All Points North, the leading US mental health & well-being clinic in London's West End.
In addition, I work part-time for Relate, the UK's relationship counselling organisation. I am listed in the Relate Practitioners Directory.
Previously, I worked as a university lecturer, teaching philosophy for 25 years at Richmond, The American International University in London.
I was also a successful jazz pianist, resident at The Ivy and Le Pont de la Tour, and headlining the Jazz Café with my trio. I am married with children.

About relationship counselling
Relationship counselling works! 80% of respondents to a Relate survey said counselling had significantly improved their relationship.
Relationship counselling is for both couples and individuals, whether currently in relationships or not. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, sexualities, and types of relationship.
Relationship counselling is a specialist form of therapy, so it is best to work with someone who has training in this specific model.
(I am also trained in psychodynamic, systemic, Transactional Analysis, & CBT approaches to therapy.)
I believe therapy is a collaborative process, so i am always happy to discuss the approaches I use. I may suggest reading you will find helpful. In my view, sharing concepts and models helps develop understanding and promotes change.
If you'd like to chat informally about starting therapy, contact me by text, email or phone.
