About me
I am a Relational Integrative Psychotherapist (it’s a mouthful!). It means that I draw from different therapeutic approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic, CBT, Somatic therapies, and more, to create therapy that focuses on you as a unique person first, rather than a label or a symptom. My priority is to create a safe, empathetic, and judgement-free environment. I value and celebrate the differences and uniqueness of every person, and tailor my practice to your specific needs.
I offer support for a range of difficulties, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, issues around self-esteem and confidence, bereavement, divorce, body image, domestic abuse, substance use, redundancy, sexuality, loneliness, identity issues, and more.
I specialise in supporting individuals who struggle to build authentic, honest, and fulfilling family and interpersonal relationships, particularly those who have experienced relational trauma. I assist those who feel lonely despite being surrounded by others, who find their relationships chaotic and overwhelming, or who are trapped in a cycle of toxic relationships. Whether you're navigating the complexities of dating, facing challenges in marriage, or dealing with difficult relationships with your parents or children, I am here to help you discover meaningful connections with others.
The relationship that you and I will build during our work together is at the centre of my practice and will guide our work together. I see psychotherapy and counselling as a collaborative process and value building strong and trusting therapeutic relationships. I take an active role in my work with clients and support them in gaining more awareness and clarity in the most difficult times in their life. During our work together, I will be walking alongside you whilst you figure things out and move towards a positive change in your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor working face to face in Poulton le Fylde, as well as online and on the telephone. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP), the leading professional association for counselling professions. I attend regular supervision in accordance with BACP ethical framework and have a full professional indemnity insurance. I engage in regular CPD. I have completed my training at Leeds Beckett University (MA Integrative Counselling, PGCert Counselling and Interpersonal Skills). I offer counselling in English and Lithuanian.
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked as a drug and alcohol practitioner and provided support to individuals with complex mental health needs. During this time, I had the privilege of supporting people through some of the most challenging periods of their lives. My experience in helping clients with substance use issues, combined with my background in mental health, has given me a valuable understanding of diverse client needs. I integrate the knowledge and skills acquired from these roles into my current psychotherapy practice.
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.
