About me
I am an accredited psychotherapist (MSc, MBACP Accred.) and EMDR-trained therapist (EMDR Europe accredited training) with extensive experience working across NHS, private, and voluntary sectors since 2008. My background includes inpatient, community, and specialist settings, supporting adults from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds. I have worked as a psychotherapist since 2018 and have helped hundreds of clients navigate difficulties including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and work-related stress. I am an approved therapist with a range of organisations including the Police Firearms Officers’ Association, Derby City Council and various medical insurance and medico-legal providers.
My approach is integrative, combining CBT, EMDR, Person-Centred Therapy, CFT (Compassion-Focussed Therapy) and Attachment Theory to meet each client’s individual needs. Together we can explore underlying patterns and present-day difficulties within a safe, supportive relationship.
I am fully trained and qualified (with EMDR Europe accredited training) to deliver EMDR to clients, including those affected by past trauma.
I offer a calm, professional environment in which you can reflect, gain clarity, and move towards meaningful and sustainable change. Sessions are available in person in Derby or online, and I would be delighted to hear from you.
I welcome clients from all major insurance companies including:
Allianz, AVIVA, AXA, BUPA, WPA

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.
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.
