About me
Do you find each day a struggle, do you feel stuck despite your best efforts to move on? Do you sometimes wonder what it might feel like to find a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in your life, to feel more present, free, and creative?
Maybe you’re lying awake in the middle of the night, your mind spinning with worries, or feeling stuck in a relationship that brings more pain than joy. Perhaps you're dreaming about writing that book or creating art but keep putting it off, or maybe you’re struggling to find your place in the world and wondering what comes next. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by these challenges, but you don’t have to go through them alone.
In therapy, we’ll explore your thought patterns, examine beliefs that might be holding you back, and work to gain new insights. We’ll use approaches that resonate with you, whether that’s talk therapy or creative expression. We will borrow from psychoanalysis, philosophy, creative arts and popular culture - whatever resonates with you and helps to shed light on your individual situation. My goal is to help you feel more free and open. If you’re ready to start, let’s schedule an introductory meeting to see how we can work together.
Over the years I have worked with many individuals facing a range of challenges. Dealing with abuse and trauma, depression, gender, sexuality, grief, pain, loss and relationship breakdowns. I have supported people dealing with eating disorders and low self-esteem, separation, illness and damaging habits. With my professional training in psychosexual therapy, I can also offer support around sexual and intimacy concerns. I have supported people who wanted to improve their lives by shaking off old habits and having clearer goals.

Member organisations
school 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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Additional information
Sessions are usually scheduled for the same time every week and are paid for in advance of the session. I can offer some flexibility if you have an irregular work pattern. In the early stages of therapy, regular weekly sessions offer structure and focus within a safe and ethical framework of good practice. Over time we can discuss alternative approaches such as fortnightly sessions or sessions as and when required.
