About me
You may find yourself going through a challenging time, I can support you through a range of issues including loss and grief, relationship difficulties and family conflict, work-related stress, life transitions and facing important decisions, anxiety and depression.
I am a good listener, curious about people and what brought them to be who they are today. It is my aim to offer a safe, open and inclusive environment whereby we can understand you as a unique individual.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and registered member of the BACP, I abide by their ethical framework and am DBS checked.
The therapy I provide is informed by the extensive training I have received, in Transaction Analysis at London's Metanoia Institute where I qualified as a psychotherapeutic counsellor. I am continuing my personal development by working towards an MSc in psychotherapy and have additional training in couples therapy.
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.

Further information
I offer a warm, compassionate space for people to explore themselves and their lives. Alongside this, I work relationally, meaning the quality of the therapeutic relationship is integral to the work we do together.
Sessions are weekly and last 50 minutes. Some people are aware of the reason for seeking out therapy before the first session, for others, it may take a little time for this to emerge.
During our first session, we will spend some time exploring what life is like for you to help us understand your reasons for coming to therapy and how we might support you on your journey to feeling better.
During this we will discuss if therapy is right for you and explore how we might work together to ensure you are making the right decision for yourself. I work with adult (18+) individuals and couples.
