Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist, MBACP

About me

I am an Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist with a holistic approach to therapy. Integrative means that I draw from several modalities, namely, psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and transpersonal. Hence, I do not have a 'one size fits all' approach. Instead, I meet you where you are, which is informed by a heart-centred, client led approach and will take aspects from a particular principle/s and apply appropriately in service to whatever your needs might be.

In recognition that we all respond better to some methods more than others for varying reasons, I use a number of tools to help with each therapeutic journey. This includes art, body work, breathing and grounding techniques, chair work, dream work, inner child work, music, and visualisations.

I offer a safe, confidential, empathetic, and non-judgemental space for you to process and make sense of whatever you may be experiencing. I understand that we are all complex beings, and often trying to navigate our way through life can be challenging. Seeking therapy can be overwhelming. I honour your courage! 

Most of all, I am passionate about what I do and have personally experienced the positive benefits that therapy can have on the whole being. For example, in the form of growth, enhanced awareness, increased self-love, and most of all, trust in myself that my inner wisdom is the ultimate guide.

Seeking assistance through therapy can appear daunting. My approach is compassionate, attuned, and gentle. It is tailored to the needs of each individual. Together, we explore the source/s of each presenting issue and identify supportive techniques and changes that can cultivate empowerment. I am here to accompany you on this journey at your own pace. You are not alone!

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
