About me
My Main therapy approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), The idea of CBT Therapy is that our thoughts are the key to our emotions/feelings and body sensations, which have an effect on how we behave in situations or life circumstances. when we explore each of these, we can begin to understand, and change our thinking process. As a result of this we can reduce our stress levels, change difficult emotions/feelings, address unhealthy relationships or unwanted behaviours.
Although my training is underpinned by CBT, I do have experience and knowledge in working with other therapy approaches such as such as Person Centred, Mindfulness/grounding techniques, and Transaction Analysis in order to tailor therapy to clients.
With compassion and support from me, and with the time and space to work at your own pace, the aim is to help you learn new coping strategies to help you start to move forward, enjoy life, and improve your overall mental health.
I have experience in working with adults and young adults 18+ with issues such as:
- Anxiety
- Worry
- Stress
- work related stress
- Fatigue and sleep issues
- Phobias
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Anger
- Depression
- Low Self Esteem
- Self Harm
- Suicidal Thoughts
- Domestic Abuse
- Relationship Issues
- Bereavement/ Loss
- Gender Identity
How the sessions work
Fees are £45.00 - 50.00 per hour
#Sessions are phone, online via teams#
Or I can do home visits depending on postcode (home visit session prices may vary due to distance)
The first initial appointment is a free phone call so we can have a chat about your current situation, your background, what you want help with, or what changes you would like to see in your life.
This information will help me to understand you and your circumstances and will also give you the opportunity to see if I'm the right therapist for you. If you feel that I'm not the right therapist, then that's also fine, there is no obligation to begin therapy.
If you decide to go ahead with therapy, we can arrange a time slot for your first session. At the start of session one, the initial assessment, I will discuss contracting with you. This part of the process outlines confidentiality, the limits of confidentiality, and my membership with the British Association for Counselling Psychotherapists (BACP). I will also discuss how I can help you move forward by explaining how I work as a therapist.
Any questions, please feel free to message or email.

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.
