About me
Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career issues, patterns in your life you can't seem to escape...I provide an open and non-judgemental space for you to start to make some sense of these issues, and to find your way out of them, in a process that roughly follows these three stages:
Stage 1: Explore the problem in an empathetic, non-judgemental environment.
Stage 2: Clarify the key patterns and themes; put it all into context and gain insight.
Stage 3: Use this insight to start moving towards a richer, more pleasurable life.
- Free 45 minute initial consultation where you get a sense of how therapy can help you. If it sounds like it could, then this leads to….
- An initial six-session module. Towards the end of the module you can choose a further module, or ‘open-ended therapy’, depending on what we feel would work best.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
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.

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

Accredited Register Scheme
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.

Further information
My way of working is 'Existential/Integrative'. This is a long-established model of therapy, , developed in the UK, US and Europe and used successfully for over 60 years.
Existential therapy helps you to get better acquainted with yourself by exploring the various contradictions and paradoxes that often make understanding yourself such a challenge. Through this, it helps you to discover unexpected areas of freedom in your life, places where you often thought up to this point of your life that there were no options or choices available.
This newfound, developing sense of freedom - which includes the freedom to embrace difficult thoughts and emotions - helps you to start making changes in your life and to gain more pleasure from life. But, at the same time, it can be daunting to make changes, and part of my role is to support you through this process and to help you to become better able to deal with the challenges ahead, to be able to start leading a richer, more balanced and more fulfilling life.
The 'integrative' part of 'Existential/Integrative' means that I also incorporate approaches from other core therapeutic models into my work, in particular from psychodynamic and humanistic psychotherapy.
I work with adults, young people, older adults and trainees
I offer long-term face-to-face work, short-term face-to-face work and time-limited face-to-face work.
