About me

Face to Face & Online

Thank you for visiting my page! 

I am a fully qualified BACP accredited CBT therapist (level 7). I gained accreditation in 2016 and have worked in a range of mental health and support settings for 20 years, including the NHS.

My approach is underpinned with empathy, understanding and warmth. We can work together to identify the problems you have been facing, discuss strategies for addressing them and find solutions. We do this mainly by working on the beliefs you hold about yourself and the situations you find problematic.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an effective approach to issues involving all types of anxiety and depression. It can also be an effective aid to managing stressful life events, every day stresses and can facilitate growth and motivation.

I work with a wide range of issues including depression, low self esteem, ptsd and trauma,  stress, anxiety, obsessions, obsessive compulsive disorder, body dysmorphia, phobias, health/chronic illness concerns, insomnia, relationship problems, work related issues, bereavement and identity issues.

Everyone is different, therefore my approach is tailored specifically to you, your needs, strengths and issues.

CBT is considered to be a short term and cost effective therapy. In the first session, we will talk about you, the issues you have been experiencing and how I can help. During the sessions, you will learn to become your own therapist and learn techniques that you can use long after the therapy has ended. Sessions last an hour and are usually on a weekly basis at first. Usually, after 6 sessions we review whether you'd like to continue therapy and the frequency of sessions. However if there are any issues or you'd like to leave therapy, we can talk about this at any time and I will help with this as much as possible.

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.

Key details

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.
