About me
Highly-trained couple and relationship psychotherapist based near Stratford upon Avon, Leamington, Warwick, North Cotswolds. If you are struggling in your relationships, I offer a combination of high-quality psychodynamic therapy, diplomatic skills, and mindfulness. I work online and in-person.
In addition to private practice, I'm a clinician at Tavistock Relationships. I was a Diplomat for ten years, working on conflict resolution, and I also help Foreign Office diplomats and families foster healthy relationships. I am a Mindfulness teacher for couples and groups. I also co-lead outdoor trail running retreats for couples and families.
I bring compassion and curiosity to every client. I have worked with clients who are struggling with loneliness, depression, anxiety, anger, and for couples who are navigating issues such as infidelity, intimacy and sex, finances, and changes in family dynamics. Together, we can change the dynamics that might lead to feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified at Tavistock Relationships as a psychodynamic psychotherapist for couples and individuals. I have years of specialist training in couple therapy, which is a unique craft.
I have also trained in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and delivered mindfulness courses. I was a Diplomat working on conflict resolution for ten years. Much of my experience in the past 15 years has focused on creating spaces for healthy relationships.
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.
