About me
Anxiety and Depression
I work closely with individuals, learning to understand anxiety and depression from their prospective, how they feel, what they believe, and how they see themselves in the world around them. Together we work towards tackling problems, with a view for the person to be able to self-cope and more independent when problems arise.
Borderline Personality Disorder / Emotional Unstable Personality Disorder(BPD/EUPD)
The first appointment is an assessment in order for me to begin to understand a person’s background, and the level at which Bpd and /or a co-morbid condition effects their function, and how they currently cope with their emotions and relationships, and if I can help someone. The following appointments would focus on learning about how and why we react the way we do within a Bpd and /or co-morbid condition spectrum, and begin to learn about how to manage the condition day by day, if that is possible.
When working I use a combination of DBT, CBT and traditional Psychotherapy and Counselling. I often suggest working on, or considering what has been discussed during a session, in order to maintain therapeutic momentum if that is possible.
Having experienced Bpd myself, I have an insight into both the anxiety and sometimes disturbing effects the condition can bring, from both a patients and therapists prospective.
I specialise in the following conditions
Survivors of Narcissistic Relationships , LGBTQ+🏳️🌈, Self-Esteem and Confidence, Panic Attacks, Work Related Issues, Grief and Loss.
Abuse, Trauma and Domestic violence:
I work with patients who are victims of traumatising events.
Often these experiences leave a post traumatic disturbance with the individual, family or group. Those affected frequently have a feeling-memory of the event, that invades their life on a daily basis. Using Integrated Psychotherapy and Counselling, I am able to work with people sensitively, in order to help them begin to work through their critical experience, towards more self control and balance.
As an Integrative Psychodynamic Therapist, I use a variety of therapeutic models when working with patients. I practice Relational Psychotherapy, and incorporate the models of Existentialism, Psychodynamic Transference Focused Psychotherapy, Humanistic Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy theory's (DBT), Transpersonal Philosophy, and Mindfulness Therapy.
I work with patients from 18 years of age.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.
