About me
I am a British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) registered adult therapist. My work is governed by the BACP code of ethics. I am also a United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) registered child and adolescent psychotherapist and provide therapy (short and long term) to both adults and young people in Milton Keynes and the surrounding area.
Since 2011, I have provided one to one therapy for a range of organisations based in Milton Keynes and London. Two of these delivered specialised therapy: one to young people (aged between 11-25) and the other to female survivors of domestic violence. I currently work for Womens’ Aid and provide therapy to children, adolescents and female adult survivors of domestic violence . I also have my own private practice and have worked with clients on issues which include abuse including sexual abuse, trauma, domestic violence, self harm, low self-esteem and confidence, identity, cultural issues, transition, loss, anger, anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship issues. I am also experienced in taking referrals via Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP), which are offered by many employers.
My clients have come from a range of backgrounds and so I have experience of, and more importantly a great respect for difference/diversity based on grounds which include age, sex, religion, ethnic and cultural background and sexual orientation. I have an interest in how these kinds of differences influence our behaviours and emotional health. I also have an interest in working with trauma and have received post qualifying training in this area.

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.
