About me
How does therapy work? Therapy cannot change history, but it can help you learn ways to move beyond past experiences to help you live the life you want to live. My job isn’t necessarily to “take the pain away,” but rather to help you navigate and cope with the pain whereby you emerge feeling resilient, confident, and self-sufficient. If you feel lost after a recent break-up, have suffered (or engaged in) an infidelity; if you struggle to connect with your partner; if you are unsure of “what to do next” after a bereavement; if you are enslaved to a substance or a behaviour, then my approach to therapy may be able to help you.
By blending Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (to treat the symptoms) with a Psychodynamic approach (to treat the cause), structured within a Family Systems framework (to understand the context), you will be able to improve your understanding of self, communicate and relate better with others, and enhance your self-esteem and self-worth.
I have over nine years of experience helping clients who struggle with a range of mental health difficulties (chronic and acute: depression, anxiety, stress, trauma), but more specifically with relationship issues, grief/bereavement, and addiction. To learn more about how my approach can help you, you can send me an email to schedule a free consultation.

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.
