About me
I am a BACP Accredited therapist and provide Psychotherapy/Counselling services in person in Perth as well as online and via telephone if preferred. I also provide Counselling Supervision for both qualified and student counsellors.
I am qualified to work with adults, adolescents and older children.
My main modality is Psychodynamic however I take an ‘integrative’ approach which means I choose to use a range of approaches in recognition of each clients unique and individual needs, wants and situation. I will never take the role of ‘expert’ or ‘tell’ you what to do. You live your life, not me, and I recognise that entirely.
I’m happy to provide a no cost short introductory call prior to starting work together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Further information
I have been a qualified therapist since 2012 and have experience of supporting people with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, bereavement & loss, domestic abuse, substance use, relationship and parenting difficulties, and other life stages such as adolescence, menopause and retirement.
I care deeply about equality of opportunity and the potential for everyone to work towards and experience positive mental wellbeing. I recognise the autonomy and power belongs with you and my aim is to support my clients to work towards their own individual goals in the work we undertake together.
