About me
I am an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist and supervisor. I have an advanced diploma and an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. I am a registered, accredited UKCP therapist and registered member of the BACP.
Most of us will encounter difficult situations and painful feelings at some stage of our lives. Sometimes, we may not be able to make sense of it all and feel uncertain about how to move forward. Those situations may be overwhelming for us. Possibly the support we have around us might not feel enough, and being offered a different perspective or point of view can be beneficial for our well-being and desire to move forward in life.
Professional counselling/therapy may offer a much-needed fresh perspective, helping you to explore underlying issues that interfere with what you think, feel, and do.
I offer a calm, non-judgmental space. I don't expect you to talk about anything you don't want to; we can look into and agree on what the focus of our work will be. In therapy, one's inner experience can be witnessed with clarity, honesty, and compassion.
I have a strong focus on working with difference and diversity, committing to developing an anti-oppressive practice, and I welcome people from all walks of life and intersections. I also work from a social justice perspective, taking into consideration how the societal structure of the individual may influence their mental health and well-being. I am aware that I continue to learn in all areas, and I trust that I grow my allyship as I progress my work and personal development in all areas. Members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome in my work.
I offer both long-term and short-term counselling (between 6 and 12 weeks minimum), should you have a specific issue you would like to explore and work on.

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.
