About me
APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE - DIARY NOW OPEN FOR APRIL / MAY 2026
Get in touch for a free no obligation conversation.
I am a professionally qualified Accredited Psychotherapist (CBT). Acceptance and compassion, whilst focusing on your individual needs are brought to each session and our work together.
I aim to build a positive and trusting relationship with my clients and offer a relaxed, safe and confidential space to talk through your problems.
Using a collaborative non-judgmental approach, I can assist you in learning new ways of acknowledging and accepting thoughts and feelings, and committing to action towards a values focussed life, which can be referred to at any time (known as ACT). Taking the first step to start therapy can be difficult but it’s the first step in the journey to helping you work towards your goals.
As a qualified psychotherapist, my professional values include integrity, being compassionate, supportive, and understanding.
My work with clients includes, but is not limited to, experiencing problems with low mood, anxiety, self-esteem, perfectionistic behaviours, as well as simply being a non-judgemental ear to listen and support you through difficult times.
Online can be useful for those in remote areas, or with difficulty arranging transport, those with busy schedules don't need to take extra time out of their day for commutes, can be more cost-effective, and allows quick and easy access which may not otherwise be readily available.

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.
COSCA is the professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in Scotland, and seeks to advance all forms of counselling and psychotherapy and the use of counselling skills by promoting best practice and through the delivery of a range of sustainable services. COSCA Counsellor Accreditation is a pathway to entry onto the UKRC. It is a requirement of all individual and organisational members of COSCA to abide by its Statement of Ethics and Code of Practice and be accountable to the Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

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).
