About me

I am a qualified and registered, female, psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. I have provided safe, confidential and non judgemental counselling for the past 12 years. I offer therapy for people who are in distress or have emotional problems, as well as those who seek a sense of fulfillment and meaning lacking in their lives.

If you feel ready to explore your thoughts and feelings then psychotherapy and counselling can bring about therapeutic, long-lasting change.
I work with individuals over the age of 16 on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and live it more fully.

I also work in Italian and French

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
