About me
About Me
I am a qualified Relational, Integrative counsellor/psychotherapist with over 10 years experience. I offer you a safe, confidential space to explore your individual concerns, experiences, hopes and goals
Integrative means my knowledge, tools, techniques and experience encompasses Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) therapies. I have also trained as a Couples, Mindfulness and Compassion Focused practitioner as part of my personal and professional development. I can therefore tailor my approach to suit your individual needs and wishes.
My way of working is described as Relational, which means that I consider relationships to be very important and we will endeavour to build one that allows you to feel safe, understood and respected. We will explore your past experiences (including relationships) and identify ways in which they may still be influencing your thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, emotional well-being and current relationships. I also think its important to focus on areas of your life that can bring you Happiness, Joy, Compassion and Resilience and this is based on the current Positive Psychology evidence and research.
I am approachable, compassionate and trustworthy; offering a safe, confidential environment for us to collaboratively explore your individual concerns and experiences and work towards the goals, change or acceptance you desire. There will be ongoing reviews to assess the way we are working together and make sure you are getting what you want from therapy.
I am a counsellor and group facilitator with the charity 2 Wish and I am Co-chair of SPARCL, both of which support families through child loss, trauma and bereavement.
I attend regular supervision and am a Registered member of the BACP (091133) and therefore I adhere to high professional and ethical standards.

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.
