About me
I am a UKCP accredited psychotherapist, an EMDR and sensorimotor psychotherapist, and hold a certificate in Complex Trauma treatment. I have years of experience in trauma, anxiety, addiction and relationship issues. My method is creative and thought provoking. I use elements of drama, sensorimotor psychotherapy, polyvagal theory and mindfulness.
If you are looking for a challenging, thought provoking and yet gentle and safe approach to resolve issues that keep you stuck, or make you anxious, or fearful, or doubtful of yourself, I can help you. I walk with you in your journey and help you to shed some light where it feels dark and painful. Together we can look at things from a different perspective.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
