About me
I am a BACP registered Therapist with several years of experience working in in counselling centres, addiction treatment settings, and private practice in Cape Town, Belgium, and London. From London originally I moved out to Cape Town as part of my own journey into growth and change. I studied and worked out there for 4 years then worked and meandered my way back home over several years, running addiction treatment centres and permaculture farm based recovery retreats along the way.
I'm an integrative therapist, which means I believe in bringing a variety of approaches to create a safe, supportive listening space where my clients can face their problems with me by their side to help guide, support, and challenge them in making the changes they need. I'm registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, which means I stick to a clear code of ethics and meet professional and educational requirements to provide help in a self and effective way.

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.
