About me
Welcome.
Most people experience a crisis at some point in their life. This can feel overwhelming and isolating. Sometimes family and friends can only take you so far. We often stop short of fully expressing our thoughts and deepest feelings, as we do not wish to overburden or alarm. Yet big life changes, a health, employment or relationship crisis will call us to that most private and resourceful part of ourselves.
I have experience of both short term counseling (6-12 sessions) and longer term psychotherapy working with clients from a wide variety of cultures and life issues.
Every client has a particular style; drawing on my integrative training I have many tools to call upon such as visualizations, dreamwork, and creative imagination to meet the material as it presents itself, but it is the relationship which lies at the heart of our therapeutic work. Strong boundaries, containment and confidentiality together with the rhythm of regular weekly meetings set the stage for change, allowing you to safely bring whatever you need to explore, no matter how challenging or scary it might seem.
I am accredited by UKCP and am a member of the BACP bound by their code of ethics.

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.
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.
