About me
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist offering a supportive space from which to help you explore your challenges and achieve meaningful change. I work face to face and online. I use various approaches to help those I work with develop a deeper understanding of their situation and to find more effective ways to move forward.
My approach is interactive, supportive and encouraging. How I work and what we would focus on will depend on your situation. Generally, I find it important to explore an individual’s past, to help them identify and make sense of emotions and to find new ways to think about their situation.
I typically meet people weekly however this can change depending on your needs and preferences.
I commonly support individuals dealing with:
-Relationship difficulties
-Anxiety and depression
-Work-related stress and burnout
-Emotional
-Life transitions and personal growth
How I work
Everyone is different and I am interested in what will work for you as well as what you are hoping to gain from working together. Frequently, this may involve exploring how past experiences may be affecting the present, making sense of events, connecting with emotions and processing experiences. The pace of this would be led by you.
About me
Forming a good trusting relationship is important. This can take time and is helped by creating an environment which is accepting, safe, warm and supportive.
From my training in Integrative Psychotherapy, I take a Humanistic approach and use principles from Existential and Psychodynamic therapies. I have received training in Mindfulness and Transactional Analysis, which also inform how I work. I have a background in workplace psychology and coaching which means that I have a good understanding of the stresses and challenges one may face working within organisations, with teams and other work-related pressures. Additionally, I have personal interests in Buddhism and yoga which also inform how I work.

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.

I understand that taking the step to start a therapeutic relationship with someone is an important one, which involves your time, energy, emotion and money. I therefore believe that before making this investment, it will be important for you to be as informed as possible, so that you can make the right decision about whether you would like to work with me.
After initial contact, I will arrange a time for us to have a telephone conversation which will be the opportunity to discuss what brings you to therapy, your expectations and your current situation. You will be able to ask questions and we will also discuss some practicalities, such as where and when we may meet.
Session length: 30 mins (Free)
