About me
We are drawn to therapy for different, very personal reasons. We may be experiencing heartbreaking loss, feel overwhelmed, experience relational difficulties or feel really stuck in patterns no matter our efforts. Therapy is a process that can support and empower us during difficult times and enable change not always possible on our own.
I am a UKCP and MBACP accredited psychotherapist qualified to work with children, adolescents and adults. I work in an age appropriate and developmentally informed way, for example using play and art work with younger children.
My experience across age groups is important at later life stages as it can at times be our wounded childhood selves that come alive in the present. I use an integrative approach. This means I draw on different therapeutic tools and modalities tailored to your individual process. Ultimately, your therapeutic journey is about enabling your unique experience and potential.
I work on a short, medium and long term basis. Although longer term work allows for deeper levels of engagement which can support sustained growth and change, I believe the seeds of healing can be sown in a few short sessions.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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).
