About me
You may be thinking about getting in touch but feeling uncertain as to whether counselling is for you. There may be particular experiences, recent or in the past, which you are struggling to cope with; bereavement, divorce, redundancy or other major life event. Perhaps things just don’t feel right and you don’t understand why.
I offer a safe and confidential environment where you are free to explore what is troubling you without fear of judgement.
I can support you to gain insight into how early experiences and significant events in your life might be affecting you in the present, helping you to see things from a different perspective and discover ways of bringing about positive changes in your life.
Specialisms include counselling for trauma, bereavement and loss.

Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with additional specialist training in Bereavement Counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I am a member of the British Psychoanalytic Council, the Tavistock Society of Psychotherapists and the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
In parallel with private practice, I currently work in a specialist NHS service providing psychotherapy to victims of childhood sexual abuse.
Previously I have worked in a local hospice, providing bereavement counselling to adults experiencing grief and loss following the death of a loved one and in a local counselling centre supporting adults experiencing a variety of emotional difficulties including anxiety, anger, depression, stress and the effects of trauma.
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). 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).
