About me
Are you a survivor of childhood abuse? Are you currently experiencing domestic violence? Do you not like what you see when you look in the mirror? Would you just like to feel 'happier'?
If you have answered yes to any of the questions above, or if there is anything else you have going on in your life right now that you would like to speak with someone about, get in touch.
Long-term, short-term and time-limited (a set number of sessions) counselling and psychotherapy are available covering a large range of issues.
Your therapeutic experience with me will be confidential, supportive and empowering. You will learn how to use your power from within to move on from past trauma and deal with future challenges that life has a habit of throwing at us.
In addition to the 'traditional' talking therapy, you will also use creativity, imagery and learn to hear what your physical body is telling you, in addition to other techniques. These will all help you to become more self-aware, find your inner strength and become a Soulja!

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.
