About me
You may be exploring these pages knowing exactly why you are looking for help. Or, you might feel something is just not quite right. Either way, you are probably feeling uncomfortable and know something needs to change. By seeking out someone to help, you are beginning to take control of that discomfort. You are giving yourself permission to not be OK and, while it might not feel like it right now, that’s one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself.
Trying to figure everything out on your own can be hard, so we will explore what’s going on for you, together, in conversation. I can help you understand why you might be feeling the way you do, and what – if anything – needs to change in your life for it to be better for you.
I am a professionally qualified Psychotherapist and Counsellor; I choose to call myself a Therapeutic Counsellor.
Technically, I am known as an Integrative Practitioner; this simply means I integrate different counselling theories and techniques according to your specific needs. For example, I might use Psychodynamic theory (to explore your past and patterns); I will always use a Person-Centred approach (keeping you at the heart of our sessions); and we could use all sorts of different techniques (such as solution-focused, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or coaching methods) to help.
You’ve done well to take the first step; I can help you when you are ready to take the next.

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.
