About me
INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES THERAPY. I am a naturally warm and friendly Psychotherapist with an understanding and empathic nature. I possess a deep passion and commitment towards supporting you on your journey towards reaching your goals for the future. I recognise that the initial stages of therapy can be daunting and difficult for many which is why I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore thoughts and feelings, and the reasons for you accessing therapy. The relationship which we build is extremely important in the therapy process and I will focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship as a foundation for the work that we do together.
I have worked alongside many individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds. The belief that you are the expert in your life underpins the work I offer. This is why I work as an Integrative Psychotherapist allowing my work with you to be tailored towards your individual needs.
When you contact me we can discuss your reasons for accessing therapy at this time and how we could work together. Once you have decided if you would like to go ahead, we can arrange our first session which is an opportunity for us to meet one another, complete an assessment form and go over our contract together, and decide how we will progress forward.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
