About me
I'm an experienced counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor (BAPPS) with a background in the NHS, voluntary sector and private practice. I work with people across a wide demographic spectrum, with adults of every age (18 - 90+), young people (13+) and couples. I offer brief intensive counselling/psychotherapy (usually 6-18 sessions); medium-term (18-44 sessions) long-term and open-ended counselling/psychotherapy (44+ sessions), in-person, online, or on the phone if that is most suitable. I also offer one-off consultations.
I work with people with a wide range of presenting problems including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger, sadness, loss, drug and alcohol issues, eating and weight difficulties, and other physical, mental, and emotional health issues.
I can offer you a service if you are anxious, stressed, confused, unhappy, insecure, lonely, angry, distressed: basically, experiencing any feelings that you want help with, perhaps due to issues in your relationships, occupation, lifestyle, or because of illness, loss, bereavement, stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional, mental, or physical, challenges and transitions.
I work within a 'psychodynamic' framework - taking into account relationships, internal and external states, present, past, and desired life experience, environment, circumstances, and culture, and I use influences from other disciplines such as cognitive-behavioural, cognitive-analytical, existential, psychoanalytic, and neurobiology.
The way I work starts with the 'here and now' of what is going on in your life, what you are unhappy or distressed about, what you want to cope with, reflect on, and/or change.
For example, you might be experiencing particular difficulties or a crisis or loss in your life, or be in a time of change or transition in relation to study, work, relationships, life-stages, self-identity and sexuality etc, or you might simply be at a time in your life when you want to explore and reflect.
If you do not understand why you feel the way you do but find life frustrating, dissatisfying, difficult, or even unbearable, together we can think about and make sense of what is going on for you, and why you feel, think, and behave as you do, and how you can make any changes you may want to.
I offer a free initial conversation online or on the phone, so please call me on 07908 421 356 or send an email.

I go on learning and developing ...there is no end to learning but, in my experience, it gets easier as I grow (older)
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.
