About me
I offer therapy in a warm professional setting. In our first meeting you can outline the problem and we can make a plan for what you would like to achieve.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT) equips you with powerful tools to change the way you think and feel. The type of CBT I offer is called ACT and helps us change our attitude towards our thoughts and feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy is the therapy of choice within the NHS because of its strong evidence base.
PSYCHODYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY helps us address our unconscious barriers to relating closely to ourselves and others. These often show up as repeating patterns of behaviour, depression or anxiety. We work together in therapy to give you more choice in how you respond.
INTENSIVE SHORT-TERM DYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY (ISTDP) a modern, evidence based therapy that can help with symptoms in the body, chronic pain, anxiety, depression. We work together to overcome unconscious barriers to emotional and physical health.

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 National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. 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.
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.
