About me

As a fully qualified and registered Integrative Psychotherapist, I provide therapy As a fully qualified and registered Integrative Psychotherapist, I provide therapy for adults aged 16 and over in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment. I have extensive experience supporting women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse and work with a range of trauma-related difficulties, including shame, low self-esteem, and attachment issues. I also support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and relationship difficulties.

My approach is integrative, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), and Attachment Theory (AT). By combining these approaches, I tailor each session to your individual needs, recognising that every person's experiences and journey are unique. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing, understand how past experiences may be affecting your present, and work towards meaningful and lasting change.

I am committed to creating a supportive therapeutic relationship where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgement. Through our work together, we will focus on increasing self-awareness, developing healthy coping strategies, strengthening emotional resilience, and helping you move forward with greater confidence and wellbeing.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation, giving us the opportunity to discuss your needs and determine whether we feel we are the right fit to work together. If we decide to proceed, we will begin with an initial assessment session to explore your concerns, identify your therapy goals, and consider how I can best support you.

I currently offer face-to-face, online, and telephone counselling sessions. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a consultation, please get in touch by phone or email. I would be honoured to support you on your journey towards healing and personal growth.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
