About me
I provide a insightful, professional, adult Integrative Psychotherapy service at MindStudio, a contemporary in person and online wellness studio based in Northern Cotswolds that provides talking therapy, creative therapy, yoga, personal training, animal-assisted therapy and group work dependent on your needs as an individual.
I have had the privilege of working with many people in differing settings who have felt overwhelmed, lost or stuck for over ten years within mental health establishments including the NHS and The Priory Group. We can all feel vulnerable and it is not uncommon to experience an array of different symptoms, unhelpful behaviours or lack of confidence. My own personal journey and wide-ranging professional experience alongside a commitment to the latest evidence base aims to provide a relational and consistent sense of support, as well as short and long-term relief from issues you are facing.
I am passionate about my work and strongly believe that integrative therapy can allow you to begin to make sense of overwhelming feelings, thoughts and behaviours and allow you to comprehensively explore what you want next from life.
My current areas of specialism include anxiety, depression, addiction, eating issues, low self-esteem, anger and relationship issues.
Training, qualifications & experience
Experience
I have over 10 years of study and practice working with clients in both the NHS and Private Health Care Settings. Apart from my private practice, I have worked in various mental health settings including General Acute Psychiatric Hospitals (NHS), Community Mental Health Teams (NHS), Crisis/ Home Treatment Community Teams (NHS) and an Eating Disorders Inpatient Unit (The Priory Group). My practice originates from an understanding of the positive impact the therapeutic relationship can have on experience and a desire to enable people to develop their self-awareness, explore their sense of purpose and connect to the things that are important to them.

Professional Memberships
I am registered with UKCP, BACP and HCPC.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
