About me
If you are reading this, you have taken a step towards taking care of you.
I am here to support you with making the changes you feel you need to make by providing a warm, confidential, and judgement-free space to be heard, valued, and supported.
My therapeutic practice is relational, grounded in humanistic theories, non-judgemental, and empathic to the individual needs of each person. I believe that each person has the resources within themselves to make changes they need to in their lives. As a relational therapist, I believe it is my role to get alongside you to assist you towards finding your solutions, increased self-confidence, motivation, and strategies.
I offer a warm, thoughtful space where you can feel heard and begin to make sense of what's happening in your life. My therapeutic approach is an integration of humanistic models of human development and growth. This aims to enable the client to experience a sensitive and trusting relationship to work in a collaborative way that promotes authenticity, recovery, and change according to each person's unique holistic self. I'll meet you with compassion and curiosity, working alongside you at your pace.
I aim to work in ways that empower you to develop the skills and the confidence needed to bring about long-lasting, positive change.
I have experience of working with clients of all ages, individuals and couples, in a variety of settings, including the NHS, and with a wide range of issues. This includes, but is not limited to, addiction, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss and bereavement, grief, anger, childhood adversity, identity, sexual orientation, profound sadness and despair, frustration, stress at work, bullying, low self-esteem/confidence issues, abortion, menopause, relationship issues and domestic violence.
Whether you're facing a particular difficulty or hoping to understand yourself more deeply, we can explore what matters to you and find a way forward that feels right for you.
Therapy with depth and humanity.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an integrative psychotherapist with more than 25 years' experience across the NHS and other settings. I have supported people from a variety of backgrounds with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, drawing on relational and humanistic approaches alongside other therapeutic models. My training and experience enable me to tailor therapy to each person's individual needs, circumstances and pace, offering a compassionate and thoughtful space for exploration and change.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
