About me
I offer a therapeutic space that is safe and reassuring, allowing you to bring your whole self, even the parts that you may hide from others. People have described my therapeutic style as warm, attentive and personable. I strongly emphasise authenticity and connectivity so that you feel heard, understood and seen.
I focus on:
Relationships; be that Yourself, intimate, family, friends, community, society and everything in between. It is how we are in any of these relationships that often shapes how we experience or interpret life events.
Life experiences; expected or unexpected, brand-new or repeated, stretching or debilitating! I help you to navigate what can feel like difficult life transitions, so that you feel more equipped to understand change, in all it's forms.
You; in a space that is confidential, non-judgemental and (importantly for some) away from family and friends. I help you make sense of your thoughts, feelings and behaviour to increase personal awareness, acceptance and insight.
I'm respectful but challenging at times when clarity and a fresh perspective can help you change old, unhelpful habits. I encourage you to make positive changes in your life and to discover (or perhaps re-discover) the tenacity of your unique human spirit!

Member organisations
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
