I am dedicated to working therapeutically in a way that is right for you and use approaches that will help you to get the best from your sessions. I am a qualified person centred therapist and trained to use a range of approaches including CBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy and EMDR. (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Therapy.
EMDR Therapy is an effective and well researched therapy originally developed for the treatment of PTSD and after effects of severe trauma. EMDR Therapy does not require you to discuss your trauma in detail and bilateral stimulation is only part of the process. EMDR Therapy is a comprehensive therapeutic approach with principles, protocols and procedures with the goal of reducing distress in the shortest period of time. As well as trauma EMDR Therapy is also successful in effectively treating anxiety, depression, avoidance, phobias and panic.
My practice is monitored by qualified supervisors and is bound by the BACP Ethical Framework, the ACTO Code of Ethics and EMDR Europe Code of Ethics. I am also listed on the BACP Professional Standards Authority accredited register. I hold current DBS and ICO certificates.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
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.
