About me
I am an experienced Psychotherapist offering a compassionate, non-judgemental and confidential space to explore life's challenges. We all go through times of crisis, when we may feel anxious, or overwhelmed. You may be being challenged to assert your boundaries in relationships and to successfully negotiate conflict. By helping you to reconnect to your authentic core and move beyond adaptive patterns, I support you in fulfilling your potential. Tailoring my practice to each individual, I draw on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic, Transpersonal and Trauma-Informed approaches.
I also offer Somatic Experiencing®, a body-oriented approach that gently releases stress and trauma held in the body to help restore greater well-being, self-acceptance and intimacy with others. My aim is to help you to tap into your innate capacity to heal from within. We can also consider any internal and/or external resources in your life (past, or present) to help facilitate your healing.
My practice is also informed by a powerful psycho-spiritual map called the Enneagram, a model which helps us to increase our self-awareness and help us to understand more about the dynamics of our relationship with others.
You are welcome to book an initial session, to talk about what you'd like to achieve from therapy, get a sense of how I work and to see if we'd like to arrange further sessions. We can regularly review your goals to make sure that I’m offering you the best possible service to meet your needs.
My overall approach is gentle, grounded and empowering.

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.
