About me
Welcome to my profile.
As a psychotherapist and Counsellor I assist and support clients to explore and clarify feelings, thoughts and behaviours that might be causing distress, anxiety, low self-esteem or ongoing sadness. Together we can reflect on current concerns, identify issues and unhelpful patterns and consider more beneficial and empowering strategies to deal with life challenges. My approach is integrative, incorporating psychodynamic, existential and humanistic modalities.
I am experienced in working with a variety of issues and backgrounds and I abide by the UKCP code of ethics.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
