About me
I am a BACP Accredited psychotherapist and a Supervisor.
I bring an extensive knowledge of professional experience to my work with clients. I will listen to your concerns, support you and provide techniques to manage your concerns. I offer in person support, or online.
I work with individuals, young adults and couples and offer both short and long term therapy on a variety of presenting issues; these include complex mental health issues, bereavement, anxiety, emotional, work issues, relationship issues, trauma and OCD.
I am a consultative supervisor and support supervisees individually and/or groups. Please contact me for details.
My experience includes supporting adult patients and their families, at a hospice living with cancer and terminal illness and supporting young adults aged 11-16 within a secondary school with complex life issues.
My past work career is from the corporate World, therefore I also support business professionals, who are experiencing stress and/or redundancy-work related issues and/or personal concerns.
My humanistic approach stems from a belief that every human being is unique and views the world in an individual way.
I work with people in the “here and now” while paying attention to their past and the impact that has had on them as individuals. This could include childhood experiences or learnt values and relationship patterns. The aim is to encourage understanding and an enhanced awareness of the choices and values that can be made to enable empowerment.

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.
