About me
I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing issues relating to low self esteem, depression, generalised anxiety disorder, stress, relationship worries, addictions, abuse, bullying, bereavement, problems at work, anger management, boarding school experiences, emotional problems expressed through physical illness and many other difficulties.
I am a UKCP Registered Counsellor/Psychotherapist working with my clients on short and long-term contracts, which means anything from six weeks to over a year. I offer an integrative approach to therapy and draw on a number of different theories when working with clients. If we work together we will explore the difficulty you are experiencing now, your past and present relationships, the way you think about yourself and others and the way you behave in the world. As our relationship develops I will encourage you to explore your inner experiences to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and help open new paths.
During the Coronavirus pandemic I worked with all my clients online either using Zoom or FaceTime or over the telephone. I now offer face to face or online sessions.

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).
