About me
*As part of further training, I am currently offering low-cost couples counselling. Please contact me to find out more.*
Are you finding it hard to connect with other people or a sense of meaning?
Maybe you struggle with obsessive compulsions and/or addictions, and have occasional suicidal thoughts.
It could be that you're finding it hard to motivate yourself in the usual way, or to feel enthusiastic about your future.
Perhaps you've reached your goals and are disappointed to discover that, still, something vital is missing.
If this sounds familiar, I might be a good fit for you. Together we can explore how and why you may have gone off-track.
I am trained in an integrative approach with an interest in Jungian psychology and existential philosophy.
My orientation is fundamentally humanistic, in the sense that I place emphasis on the relational aspect of therapy. As such, I understand how important it is to find the right fit when it comes to choosing a suitable therapist. I offer a free 15 minute zoom meeting to assess our suitability for working together.

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.

Additional information
I can slightly lower my rate depending on circumstances. Generally, lowered rates will correspond to the client's income. Unfortunately, I can only do this sparingly and my capacity to do so is dependent on charging full price to those who can afford it.
