About me
I offer a supportive, non judgemental space where you can explore difficulties such as relationships, low self esteem, anxiety, stress, depression, neurodiversity, ADHD, trauma and emotional concerns. I work collaboratively, at your pace, to help you gain insight into patterns that may be causing distress and to develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Our work can involve gently bringing unconscious processes into awareness, allowing you to experience, make sense of, and work through long standing feelings in a way that supports meaningful change.
I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist for individuals and couples, and a clinical supervisor. In my role as a supervisor, I support both trainees and qualified therapists in their clinical work and professional development.
Alongside my private practice, I am part of the training team at Basingstoke Counselling Service, where I teach across the full psychodynamic counselling training programme.

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.
