About me
I offer space for people who wish to explore fundamental issues. Some are driven to counselling by a current crisis that means they need support. Others have been managing perfectly well but decide that repeating destructive patterns or underlying dissatisfaction now deserve attention.
I hold Diplomas in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling and Psychotherapy from Re-Vision. This is 'counselling with a soulful perspective'. The strongest influence in the training is Jung. In this perspective, times of real difficulty or despair are seen as holding a potential for change and growth.
In our work you will be heard and witnessed. You will be able to share as much as you choose about your difficulties and the pain you may feel.
For three years I worked in the student counselling service of my local university. One theme I noticed is that many people are still deeply affected by the divorce of their parents.
Being connected to nature is important to me. I live in the Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire. My home consulting room is in my garden, with views over fields and woods. I can work with clients outdoors in nature.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a marketing consultant in professional and financial services. I’m familiar with the tension this world creates between business success and personal life. I know the pressure it puts on building and sustaining relationships.
I recognise and welcome diversity among my clients in all its forms, including cultural diversity, Gender Relationship and Sexual Diversity (GRSD and LGBTQIA+) and neurodiversity.
I’m comfortable in the world of conscious sexuality and work with clients exploring their experiences and feelings around sexual identity and open relating/polyamory.
I offer a free half-hour phone or video call to meet me and discuss the possibility of working together.

Member organisations
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.
