About me
How counselling can help
Choosing a therapist you can talk to is essential to understanding the challenges you may be facing. My aim is to support you in the process of therapy and personal change. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety, or depression, or something in your life is feeling difficult right now. You may be noticing that you want to change some of the ways you have dealt with these experiences. I can help you to make sense of what’s happening and find ways to feel better about yourself. I understand that life can be challenging sometimes. I can support you to learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that you face.
Some of the areas I specialise in are:
- anxiety and panic
- body image / eating disorders
- depression
- grief and loss / bereavement
- neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, dyspraxia, dyslexia and other ND)
- OCD
- relationship issues
My background & training I have a Masters in Therapeutic Counselling and have worked in long-term, low cost counselling, and in universities, working short term both online and face to face. I offer a relational approach to counselling and psychotherapy that integrates a number of therapeutic schools, including psychodynamic and person-centred approaches. For my dissertation I focused on mindfulness meditation in therapy. I have completed eating disorder treatment training in Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy at The Centre for Research on Dissemination at Oxford, Oxford University Department of Psychiatry and other training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Professional Accreditations I am a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) accredited counsellor and psychotherapist and a British Psychological Society (BPS) registered graduate member. I completed ACTO accredited training to deliver therapy online using video, instant chat, email and phone.
What to expect My approach to therapy is integrative and relational. As an integrative therapist I take aspects of theory from across different therapeutic models and apply them according to what meets my client’s needs. I am trained in Clarkson’s five therapeutic relationship model, which emphasises the need for a healthy therapeutic relationship, founded upon Roger’s core therapeutic conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard. The therapeutic relationship has been evidenced to be the most impactful contributing factor to any successful therapy and so I will regularly check in with you and encourage feedback.

Member organisations
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.

Further information
I want you to feel that the space I provide is welcoming and supportive. My approach is integrative and draws on psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behavioural approaches. The therapeutic relationship is at the core of my work. Therapy works on an open-ended basis, depending on what you need.
Our work will involve a therapeutic conversation, with occasional creative work including drawing and using objects. We will look at how your thoughts, emotions and behaviour interact, and how they may be influenced by your relationships with others, both in the here and now and in the past. My role is to work with you to develop your awareness of the meaning of these experiences and start to consider the underlying needs you have and how these might be best met. We may agree on thinking to be done between sessions, and you may try changing your behaviour in relation to your growing self-awareness.
I follow the BACP ethical framework for the counselling professions.
