I work with you to help you find ways of reducing the intensity of such symptoms, to help you to work with emotional distress creatively, addressing essential inner needs and to help reconnect you to your core sense of self.
My approach is holistic and is built on the core foundations of warmth, creativity, authenticity and non-judgment. I endevour to create a safe space for you to talk about whatever you feel you need to, a space to express yourself and to feel listened to.

BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
