About me
There is no prescription to follow to ensure 'a cure' because I don't believe you're broken, think of me as being here to help you facilitate you own change.
Why doesn't one size of therapy fit all? Because every person is different. Qualified to use many theories alongside CBT, I work with what suits you; if you don't like it we won't use it, no problem, this time it's all about you.
Sessions last for 50 minutes and in that time we'll explore what's most important to you, no matter how small, after all that's why you're here; you need to change something in your life and believe me, nothing can shock me!
Having a background in the creative arena, Acting, Writing, Presenting, Teaching etc means you get to access my wealth of experience to do with anxiety, panic attacks, feeling sad, depression, as well as bereavement, performance and social anxiety, general anxiety disorder, family and relationship issues like affairs or betrayal, sexual or communication issues etc and the LGBTQ community problems, including transgender and transitioning, plus BAME issues like diaspora.
I also devise and deliver corporate Mental Health Webinars. A fully qualified Clinical Supervisor, I work with counsellors, psychotherapists, mental health professionals, corporate firms and trainees.
Contact me and I promise to respond the same day.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
