About me
I work with people experiencing mental ill health symptoms such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems or something similar. I use my training and experience to help reduce these.
I believe you are the expert in you, and together we explore why these symptoms are negatively impacting your life. We work collaboratively develop strategies to tackle them, and use the relationship we build to bring about the change you want to see.
My special areas of interest are relationships, neurodivergence (in particular ADHD), addiction (substance and behavioural), twelve-step recovery, separation/divorce, co-parenting, displacement, colonialism, and Irishness.
I have a corporate background having been an events manager for over twenty years, planning high-profile sporting and tourism events including the London 2012 Olympics. Interestingly many of these skills transfer over to my new career in mental health, in particular building trusting and authentic relationships with people
I practice out of Skipton, Keighley and Saltaire. To find out more about how we can work together, please drop me an email. I hope to hear from you.

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.
