About me
I am a Level 7-qualified therapist with a wealth of experience and knowledge. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, trauma/abuse, relationship difficulties, and addiction through talking therapies.
With a compassionate and supportive approach, I aim to empower you to tackle personal difficulties that may be affecting your wellbeing and outlook. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing and uncover constructive ways to move forward. Talking through difficulties in the presence of an understanding, objective listener has been shown to alleviate symptoms of mental ill health, opening up new possibilities for growth and insight.
How I work
My therapeutic approach is integrative and relational, tailored to suit your unique way of exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I offer methods that resonate with your individual needs while operating within a trauma-informed lens, the BACP Ethical Framework, and within awareness of diversity and multiculturalism.
I offer a warm, welcoming space where you can feel safe to be yourself—or discover your true self—and work through anything that may be impacting your wellbeing.
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications: MA, PGDip, MBACP
I am trained to Level 7, and I work with adults across all life stages—from young people to older adults. My experience includes both short and long term therapy.
Professional Background:
Alongside private practice, I’ve worked as a counsellor for university students and in NHS primary care services. I’ve supported individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD and CPTSD, complex bereavement, addictions, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, and neurodiversity.
Special Interests:
While I work with diverse issues and clients, I have a particular interest in trauma, intergenerational trauma and recovery, addiction, and parenting.
Additional Experience:
Beyond formal qualifications, I’ve devoted many years to volunteering as a mentor and group facilitator, supporting individuals in their personal journeys. My background in the arts, higher education and student support enriches my perspective, and I’ve practiced mindfulness and meditation for many years.
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.
