About me
Is your relationship in conflict?
Are you seeking to move beyond negative habits but don’t know how?
Tried talking to friends but without success?
Is now the time to seek professional help?
Talking Therapy
As a therapist I aim to help individuals understand that clinging to negative thoughts and feelings causes suffering. This pattern can become automatic and habitual, and at times can lead us to descend into downward cycles of low mood, anxiety and depression.
Together, at a pace that’s right for you, I will support you in developing greater perspective on your automatic behaviours, and, I will guide you in how to cultivate alternative, more skilful ways of working with them.
These strategies promote freedom from the cycles of suffering, and produce a felt sense of manageability, liberation and release.
Whether you’re hoping to understand and move beyond traumatic experiences originating in your past, or to realise long-awaited changes in your personal or professional relationships in the present, I’m here to help.
At all times I will listen empathically and offer you a kindly, confidential and hopeful relationship were you can bring all of yourself without judgement.

Mindfulness Practices
Alongside talking therapy I also offer mindfulness practices. These popular practices are above all practical in every-day life and help support the change process.
In short, mindfulness practices help us to 'respond' rather than 'react' to our negative states of mind, difficult people or situations in our daily lives. It offers us a solution to the frustration, despair and confusion associated with our habitual, reactive and 'avoidant' behaviours.
Over time, a more authentic you can learn to emerge, a more integrated you, in greater harmony with your difficult thoughts and feelings, more at peace with those around you, including your enemies.
If my approach resonates with you, and you’re curious to know more, then do get in touch.

Individual. Couples Counselling. Adults and Young People.

Training, qualifications & experience
Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling
MBACP (Accred) and UKRCP Registered Independent Counsellor.
'Imago' Trained Therapist - for working with couples.
Work Experience
My work experience includes running a successful private practice for 14 years and 5 years within the NHS Psychological Support Service.
I've also undertaken specialist training in ‘Imago Therapy’ to enable me to work effectively with couples in conflict.
In line with the BACP professional framework I attend regular clinical supervision. I also participate in officially recognised CPD courses, workshops and retreats to further my development as a therapist.
I'm well-travelled and have an interest in other cultures, which I believe enables me to work more effectively with cultural issues and diversity.
I volunteer for my local Buddhist centre and support mindfulness courses and meditation classes which are passed on to my clients on request.
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.
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.
