About me
Welcome to my profile.
I am an experienced accredited integrative therapist who specialises in the field of unresolved loss, grief and trauma within an NHS Environment as well as in private practice. I specialise within EMDR to treat single and complex post-traumatic stress (PTSD) amongst the many other challenges we experience in life.
In my practice, I provide a compassionate, empathetic client-led approach combined with evidence based interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support my clients through life’s challenges.
As human beings we all go through times that challenge our own natural resources, this might be as a result of trauma, loss, relationship breakdowns.
Particularly now more than ever, I am working with people who require support as a result of daily stresses which for many Covid-19 has compounded.
Please don't hesitate to get in contact if you wish to arrange a free introductory session to meet with me (virtually) and have the opportunity to see whether you feel I am someone you can relate to, as well as giving me an opportunity to understand the difficulties in which you would like help with. We can then create a plan of support together.

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.
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.
