About me
Coming to therapy can feel exposing. You may not know quite where to start, or you may have spent a long time trying to work things out on your own. My job is to make it easier to sat the things that are difficult to say - and to help make sense of what's going on.
I work with individuals, and couples in relationship, be that romantic, familial or business. Sometimes to problem sits within us, and often it lives between us. Often it's a bit of both.
I work with what happens beneath the obvious stuff: the arguments that keep repeating, the conversations that never quite happen, the things you think but don't say, and the patterns you find yourself falling into despite you best intentions.
I'm not afraid of being direct. If I think there is something worth looking at I'll say so - but we'll look together with curiosity rather than judgement.
As an integrative humanistic therapist I'm on your side, I've got your back. Together we'll explore how you got to where you are now. I'll encourage you to let go of what's holding you back, be it fear, guilt, shame, to help you move on with your life. If you are nervous about seeking help then I am the therapist for you. Compassion and understanding are at the core of my practice. I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), this provides me with a water-tight ethical framework to work by. I've been working as a therapist for 10 years and have worked with lots of clients with a range of presenting issues. See the issues I work with below.
I have participated in specialist training for Neurodivergent clients. It doesn't matter if you have been formally diagnosed, if you have self-diagnosed, or just think you might have a difference, I can provide a safe and informed space for you.

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.
