About me
I provide a calm, empathic and compassionate space where clients can feel at ease and supported to openly explore their feelings and life challenges.
I aim to offer a space for clients to be heard, to understand and be understood, believing that self-awareness can lead to acceptance or change resulting in more positive mental health.
My approach allows the client to keep control over the content and pace of the sessions. I see therapy as a collaborative process and work together with my clients to understand better – or with a new perspective – the issues they are facing.
I offer a flexible approach tailored to your needs. We can work in a Person-Centred way, focusing on the here and now, or take a Psychodynamic perspective to explore how past experiences shape current behaviours, thoughts, and emotions. These approaches can also be combined.
Together, we’ll focus on your goals while you experience empathy, acceptance, and understanding.
A deeper exploration into unconscious relationship patterns can be valuable. A psychodynamic approach helps uncover how early childhood experiences shape our ways of relating, shedding light on why we are drawn to certain partners and how past dynamics influence our present relationships
For couples, we can also explore unconscious patterns of attraction rooted in early parental models—why we are drawn to certain people and how these dynamics play out in relationships. This concept is central to the IMAGO model, which helps couples recognize and transform these deep-seated patterns to foster deeper understanding and connection.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have experience providing both short- and long-term therapy to couples and individuals, supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of issues and circumstances.
In addition to my specialisation in Couple’s and Relationship therapy, I have done further professional development in the areas of: Working with Sex & Shame, Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity (GSRD). I also have a special interest in working with addiction issues and am passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community.
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.
