About me
Are you feeling stuck, or on your own? Life can sometimes leave us feeling unhappy and unfulfilled. You don't have to be alone in this; I'm here to help you talk things through.
Therapy can help us to get to the root of the pain. We can identify unhelpful beliefs that hold us back, and as a result feel lighter and more free to be ourselves. Gaining insight can be a great release, and when we change our thoughts we can change our whole life.

I have worked in Cruse Bereavement Care, Save our Sons and Daughters, Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Programme and the Samaritans.
Apart from being highly qualified, I bring my own personal qualities that cannot be learned - intuition, compassion, insight and non-judgemental listening.
I use a range of psychotherapeutic approaches - here's a brief explanation of what they are:
- Cognitive Behavioural:
- Using CBT techniques to manage and counteract unhelpful thoughts and beliefs
- Person Centred:
-
- Recognising, honouring and valuing the unique individuality of each person
- Psychodynamic:
- Detecting themes and images that provide insight into what the unconscious mind is telling us
- Accessing the wisdom that is also held in the unconscious mind.
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.
