How I Work

All sessions are held online via a secure video platform. I work with adults across the UK. Sessions last 50 minutes and are usually held weekly. I offer therapy in English, French, German, Persian (Farsi), and Spanish.

For full details on session structure and approach, see How I Work.

What Falls Outside My Scope

There are some areas that fall outside my training and competence, and where I would refer you to a more appropriate professional:

• Psychiatric assessment or diagnosis
• Medication prescription or management
• Couples or family therapy
• Therapy for children or young people under 18
• Forensic assessment or court reporting
• Addiction or substance misuse as the primary presenting issue
• Active psychosis or severe and enduring mental illness requiring specialist psychiatric input

If your needs fall outside my scope, I will do my best to help you find an appropriate professional or service. I will never continue working with you in an area where I am not competent to do so.

Referral and Signposting

If during the course of our work it becomes clear that you need support outside my scope, I will discuss this with you openly. This might mean:

• Suggesting you speak to your GP
• Recommending a specialist service or therapist
• Working alongside another professional with your consent

This is not a reflection of the severity of your difficulties – it is about ensuring you get the right support from the right person.

Professional Accountability

I am bound by the BACP Ethical Framework, which requires me to work within my competence at all times. My scope of practice is regularly reviewed through clinical supervision.
