About me

Admitting you might need the help of a counsellor can be incredibly hard and taking that first step requires lots of courage - I am pleased you are here. I work with adults and young people (18 and over) on issues relating to anxiety, depression, grief and loss (especially complicated grief - an ongoing, heightened state of mourning that keeps you from healing), race identity issues and have worked for a number of years supporting families with a diagnosis in their children of autism spectrum condition.

I work in an integrative collaborative way with clients, making sure that the therapy is tailored and suited to your unique experiences and ways of thinking. Your best interests will be at the heart of the work we do together.

My core belief is that there should always be a strong relationship between the client and the therapist and we will use this connection to guide you towards a better understanding of your thoughts and feelings. I offer a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space full of empathy and warmth for you to explore what has brought you to seek professional help.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
