About me

When we confront painful life experiences, feel conflicted or out of balance, it can be helpful to talk to a therapist in confidence.  I'm an integrative therapist, which means that I can adapt my approach to suit you and your needs. In therapy, I offer you my fullest attention whist we work at building trust and exploring what is most meaningful to you. Along the way, I hope to support you to be kind to yourself and move your life energy to where it most matters.

I'm interested in how we experience and understand ourselves in relation to our unique thoughts, feelings, emotions and body sensations. By allowing time to mindfully explore these facets of our experience, and how we relate to others, we can gain more perspective and freedom to make informed and empowered choices in our lives.

Experience:

  • MA Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy at The Minster Centre, London.
  • Six years' experience working with clients at The Oxford Women's Counselling Centre
  • Ten years' experience working in the social care sector working with vulnerable children, adults and carers.

Get in Touch:

To have a positive experience in therapy, it's best to choose a therapist that makes you feel comfortable.  I am happy to arrange an initial meeting, where we can explore what you would like to get from therapy and whether you feel that we're the right fit.

Fees:

50 minute initial meeting: £20
Ongoing weekly, 50 minute sessions: £45

Location:

I work at OTS- Oxford Therapy Centre on Oxford Road, Temple Cowley, OX4 2EA.  I am a member of OTS, Oxford Therapy and Self Development Centre.

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.
