About me
How can I support you in living the life that you want?
As a Psychotherapist I have experience of supporting people experiencing issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, social isolation, loss, lack of confidence and emotional overwhelm. I use an integrative approach to counselling which means that I adapt my counselling methods to best support the unique individual I am working with. I am mindful of the importance of the therapeutic relationship, which has the ability to promote healing and facilitate positive change. It is an honour to be permitted a window into other peoples’ inner worlds and I acknowledge the courage it takes for individuals to engage in therapy.
Ways in which I can therapeutically support you include:
- Creating a therapeutic environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and life experiences in a safe, empathetic and confidential space.
- Drawing your attention to self-defeating patterns and helping you to replace them with healthier ways of being.
- Providing practical strategies that increase healthy functioning and reduce suffering. These strategies include breathing exercises, mindfulness techniques and CBT practices.
- By being genuine, honest and direct.
I believe that the act of seeking professional support is one of bravery and wellness, not self-indulgence. I am committed to supporting my clients through their life challenges by assisting them in setting goals and by walking with them as they take steps towards positive change. I build healthy therapeutic relationships through my curiosity, empathy and humour so that my clients can deepen their self-awareness and have better, more fulfilling lives.
I am a fully qualified and insured Psychotherapist and member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). Being a registered member of this nationally recognised professional governing body means that I adhere to a comprehensive ethical framework, am held to high standards of conduct and am committed to continued professional development.
Next Steps.
It is important to find the right therapist for you. If you would like to arrange a free introductory telephone call, please get in touch. During this call you can tell me about what has brought you to counselling and we can discuss what type of support you are looking for. I will describe how I work so that we can determine whether our work together will be of benefit to you. Everything that you tell me will be held in the strictest confidence, whether we work together or not.
Following our introductory call, if you decide that you would like to begin counselling with me, we will arrange a date and time for our first session.
Please note there is no expectation for you commit to a minimum or maximum number of sessions. You are free to start or end counselling whenever it feels right for you.

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.
