About me
In my practice, I offer a secure, judgement-free space where you can explore any difficulty you may be experiencing. We can work together to make sense of your situation and feelings. I will listen, challenge limiting beliefs, and encourage fresh perspectives. This approach builds on the momentum that brought you to therapy in the first place. I will work with you to help you feel understood and more at ease in your life.
I believe that past events do impact us in the present, but we don't need to go digging around looking for them. If something is impacting you it will show up in your day to day life in your relationships, memories, thoughts and general wellbeing. We will focus on these present day occurrences. We will work to bring greater awareness to your emotions and relationship patterns, finding out what is important to you and what you need to move forward.
My integrative-existential approach is deeply respectful of how different we are while embracing our common humanity.
I often work with clients who have met with a crisis and/or are experiencing distressing symptoms such as depression, anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, or are struggling with questions about identity, meaning and purpose. My approach will support you through the difficulty while finding more authentic ways to be, in line with your feelings and values, letting go of expectations that cause distress.

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.
