About me

I believe emotional distress is our way of trying to express something that needs to be heard and understood, as it is often alerting us to something very important.  In keeping with this, I do not generally aim to "fix" your problems in a prescriptive manner; rather, I have found in my work that disturbances tend to lift most effectively when given proper space to be explored.  As such, I aim to listen carefully and challenge sensitively, offering up new perspectives and possibilities for change.  Above all, I hope we can establish a genuine connection with one another, creating a trusting place for you to express yourself as honestly as possible.

I honour diversity and value your individuality, so sessions can vary and fluctuate in style.  For example, some of my clients prefer to come up with tasks or strategies to experiment with between sessions; whilst others prefer a more philosophical outlook, with space to reflect and explore.  I will aim to support you in finding a balance that feels most empowering to you.

You can reach out to me for a free introductory call by clicking the link above, or via email, phone or text to arrange a booking.  If you decide to book an initial consultation, I will ask more about the issues you are facing, your hopes and expectations for therapy, and offer some ideas as to how we might approach them, which we can review along the way as the work unfolds.

Please visit my website to find out more about me and the way I work, including FAQ's about the process of therapy from start to finish.

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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.
