About me

I work in a way that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual client. My core training is in Psychosynthesis, an integrative and transpersonal model of therapy. My holistic approach will look at what you experience through your mind, body and feelings and always holds space for what is trying to emerge through the presenting problem, as well as offering support for managing life's challenges.

I also see the past, present and ideas of the future as interrelated which enables me to support you whether you wish to explore how you were, how you are or how you would like to be.

I also work in a relational way, meaning I bring core values of compassion, respect and inclusiveness in to our work and will bring my own human-ness in to the space.

My main areas of specialisation and experience are with:

  • perinatal mental health
  • grief and bereavement
  • depression & lack of meaning
  • co-dependency
  • relationships & interpersonal skills
  • workplace stress
  • personal crisis
  • anger & rage
  • need for self-exploration/self-discovery
  • low self-esteem
  • coping with change

The first appointment is an opportunity for both of us to decide whether we wish to work together and, if so, negotiate a contract. I will ask you some questions about yourself, your history, what makes you seek therapy at this time in your life and your hopes from therapy. We will also discuss how I work, fees, confidentiality and the practical arrangements for working together.

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.
