About me
I am a qualified UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor and EMDR Therapist. I offer long and short term psychotherapy, counselling and EMDR to individuals and couples. I offer 1-1 and group clinical supervision for qualified therapists and trainees.
I am currently offering online therapy and supervision using a variety of platforms to suit your needs.
I have been practicing as a therapist since 2012. I have a private practice both online and (when possible) face to face in Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
I am an Associate Therapist with The Retreat in York delivering Psychotherapy and EMDR Therapy.
I am a Clinical Supervisor for the Macmillan Cancer Support Line staff nationally.
My approach is integrative, using different approaches to suit your needs as a client. I will take time through an induction session to get to know you and to see if we can work together successfully, to explain what therapy is and to get an idea on what commitment you want to make. Following this, if we both agree, we will contract to work together.

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).
