About me
We can often experience difficulties in the relationships with people we care about in our lives. Whilst this is a normal part of life, these difficulties can sometimes begin to feel stuck, overshadow other parts of our lives, and we can struggle to find ways out of them. Whether these challenges happen between parents or carers, children, siblings or partners, finding a non-judgemental space with a therapist to explore them and find new ways forward can help create meaningful change.
As a systemic psychotherapist, I see that difficulties as well as strengths lie in the relationships that we have to other people. I work with people to understand and address the hurdles in their relationships and build on the strengths that already exist, and may have become difficult to notice or remember. I have found that in discovering, talking about and experiencing new or hidden stories about ourselves, we get space to try new things with each other.
Positive change is a combination of bringing a therapist’s training together with your own expertise about your history, experiences and culture - working together within a safe space is what I look to do in my sessions.

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.
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.
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).
