About me
With over 20 years of experience in mental health, I began my career in the NHS as a psychotherapist, specialising in long and medium-term therapy. For the past 15 years, I have been dedicated to private practice, successfully addressing a wide range of issues for individuals and couples.
In today's fast-paced world, we are often overwhelmed by information, pressure, and responsibilities. The constant bombardment of tasks and expectations can lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, manifesting in various ways such as overthinking, anxiety, procrastination, low self-esteem, depression and more.
My approach to your therapy is designed to help you rediscover yourself amidst this chaos, enabling you to find calm, ease, and happiness in your life. Through our collaborative work, we will explore strategies to shift negative outlooks, empowering you to create the life you want and fostering a positive relationship with yourself.
As an integrated therapist, I draw from diverse theories, combining classical psychodynamic principles with contemporary existential and transpersonal perspectives. This allows me to offer you a comprehensive toolkit to find what resonates best for you.
Together, we will create a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions openly.
I will share my knowledge with you, equipping you with insights and tools to navigate the challenges in your life on your own, empowering you to continue your therapeutic journey independently.
If you have specific areas to focus on or questions, please feel free to reach out at 07786488766 or email me here.

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.
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.
