About me
Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change? Perhaps you’re struggling in your relationship, questioning your drinking or substance use, or finding that the ways you’ve always coped simply aren’t working anymore.
I’m an experienced integrative therapist offering a warm, confidential and non-judgemental approach to therapy. I work with individuals and couples, with particular experience in anxiety, relationship difficulties, addiction and problematic alcohol or substance use, as well as neurodiversity.
Couples Therapy
Relationships can become stuck in cycles of arguments, criticism, defensiveness, withdrawal or resentment. You may feel as though you’re having the same argument repeatedly, communication has broken down, or you’ve become emotionally disconnected from one another.
I work with couples experiencing communication difficulties, loss of trust, emotional distance, recurring conflict and significant changes within their relationship.
Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, we look at what is happening between you. Together, we identify the patterns that keep causing difficulties, understand what sits underneath your reactions to one another and develop healthier ways of communicating.
Where there has been hurt or a breakdown in trust, therapy can provide a safe and neutral space to talk about what has happened and decide what you both need from the relationship moving forward.
Couples therapy isn’t only for relationships at breaking point. Some couples come because they recognise that something has changed between them and want to address it before resentment or distance becomes harder to repair.
Individual Therapy
You don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out before coming to therapy. You may simply know that something doesn’t feel right.
Therapy can help you understand why certain situations, relationships or emotions affect you so strongly and recognise patterns that may have developed over many years.
I have particular experience supporting people whose relationship with alcohol or substances has become problematic. You don’t need to identify as having an addiction to seek support. We can explore what the behaviour is doing for you, what may be driving it and how you can begin to make sustainable changes.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. We start with what’s happening in your life now and work together to understand what may be keeping you stuck, what you would like to change and how you can begin moving forward.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and member of the BACP.
I offer both in person and online sessions.
Member organisations
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.
