Hello!

DR. D, CHARTERED PSYCHOLOGIST, LONDON
I am Dr. D, CPSYCHOL, PSYCHD, MSC, BA (HONS), HCPC REGISTERED.
I am a warm, safe, confidential, highly qualified and experienced Chartered Psychologist in London with a mission to resolve personal and professional challenges, quickly and efficiently.

About me

I’m passionate about people and excel at resolving problems. My aim is to understand your presenting issue in depth, look for patterns in relationships and current behaviour and to work with you to formulate effective solutions.

Depending on your needs, I employ a wide variety of psychological models and techniques, and work integratively. That is, using integrative psychotherapy, your therapy is tailored to your specific need for optimum results.

My interest in psychology began in 1991 when I became interested in the psychographics of advertising. In 1998, I volunteered as a counselor working with juveniles, obtained a MSc in Psychology in 2009 and was awarded, Doctor of Counselling Psychology (PsychD) in 2015. I am a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol) and a member of the Health Care Practitioners Council (HCPC).

Having worked in the UK, Finland, Netherlands, U.S.A, Romania, Malaysia and Nepal, I have a rich, insightful and balanced socio-cultural worldview.

My Publications


I have authored two books and these are available for purchase on Amazon:

This book is crafted specifically for you, designed to quench your curiosity and clarify any questions you might have about the person you’re placing your trust in—your psychologist. Here, you won’t need to wonder about my thoughts; they’re laid bare for you.

Within these pages, I peel back the layers of professional distance to reveal my personal insights, experiences, and reflections on everything from the importance of boundaries and confidentiality to my thoughts on various life scenarios, including even the mundane like breastfeeding or my hobbies. My aim is to demystify the therapist’s role, offering you a glimpse into the human behind the title.

As you read, you’ll discover my personality, my humour, and yes, my very human quirks. My intention is not to diminish the seriousness of your journey but to add a layer of relatability and warmth, acknowledging the immense bravery it takes to open up in therapy. This book is about fostering a genuine connection, where you see me not just as a psychologist but as a person.

I hope this book acts as both a reflection of your own journey and a guide through the therapeutic process, enhancing our relationship with authenticity and mutual respect. This is more than just therapy; it’s a shared exploration of growth and understanding.

From one human to another, from your psychologist to you—this is “How I Feel About That.”

Older men are an under-researched population in Counselling Psychology. This research study explores how older men in sobriety experience their emotions in therapy and aims to understand the meaning of these experiences from a psychologically gendered subject perspective.
