About me

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and registered member of the BACP. I offer support with making sense of your unique place in the world, and accompanying movement toward resilience and self-acceptance. This process can be difficult and confusing, and so I can provide a variety of ways in which you may recognise your emotions, or feeling states. Therapy may include talking and thinking, as well as sensing it in your body. I work from a holistic outlook, underpinned by humanistic and relational counselling and psychotherapy.

I have experience of working with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, attachment issues, gender identity and sexuality, relationship problems, and chronic illness, alongside adult autism, ADHD, and AuDHD.

Through a collaborative relationship, I aim to facilitate awareness of your emotions, and to discover what information they may give you. I understand that this process can be difficult and confusing, and so I offer a variety of ways in which you may recognise these different feeling states, and what they mean for you. As a neurodivergent person with research experience in this area, I can provide specialised support for ADHD, autistic and AuDHD adults.

I aim to respond to enquiries within 2 days. If you have contacted me and have not heard back, please check your spam folder.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I am a member of the BACP.

I have core training in person-centred, existential, and relational therapies, and have further experience in mindfulness, ACT, and DBT.

I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework and maintain regular clinical supervision. I am actively engaged with difference, diversity and equality, and aim to make space for diverse and intersecting identities.

Member organisations

BACP
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.
