About me
I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist & also an Accredited EMDR Therapist. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can offer a rapid resolution of issues such as PTSD, OCD, anxiety, self esteem & phobias. I also offer mindfulness based therapy for clients who are looking for a more reflective enquiry into their lives.
I offer long and short term therapy for a range of issues including: anger management, stress, addictions & relationship difficulties. My approach is to offer a contemplative approach through which we undergo a joint exploration of the client's present experience. When done with mindfulness and attention this helps us relate to our present experience and how this is informed by our past conditioning and life experience. I am based in Cambridgeshire but currently am only working online.

Member organisations

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
