About me
As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I tailor my approach to your unique needs, blending different therapeutic techniques to create a personalised experience. My approach is based on the philosophy of requiring open-mindedness, patience, empathy, and willingness to enter your world, considering every aspect of your life to help you achieve a balanced sense of well-being. With over 6 years of professional practice, I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and find your path to healing and growth.
My Specialisms:
- Working with Self-Esteem: Helping rebuild and strengthen self-esteem, addressing issues of self-doubt, negative self-talk, and low confidence, guiding you to develop a stronger sense of self-worth, leading to improved relationships, career success, and overall life satisfaction.
- Childhood Trauma: Processing and healing from the effects of childhood trauma, such as emotional neglect, abuse, or loss, enabling you to understand and overcome past traumas, fostering deep healing and positive change in current relationships and self-perception.
- Anxiety & Depression: Solutions for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and sleep disturbances, with effective strategies tailored to your needs to manage symptoms, reduce distress, and improve overall mental health, leading to a more balanced and peaceful life.
- Men’s Mental Wellness: Providing a safe and non-judgmental space for men to explore and address mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, and societal pressures related to masculinity, facilitating emotional expression and resilience, and promoting healthier, more fulfilling lives.
What You Can Expect:
- Improved Self-Understanding: Together, we’ll explore the factors that contribute to your current challenges, giving you greater insight into yourself and your emotional responses.
- Positive Change: By addressing negative thought patterns and behaviours, we’ll work towards helping you feel more confident and less self-critical.
- Empowerment: My approach is designed to empower you to take control of your life and create meaningful, lasting change.

- Professional and Ethical: I’m a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and a graduate member of the BPS (British Psychological Society), adhering to the highest ethical standards in my practice.
- Flexible and Accessible: I offer in-person, online, and telephone appointments at times that fit your schedule. This flexibility ensures that therapy can be a consistent and supportive part of your life, no matter your commitments.
- Client-Centred: My work is always focused on you and your needs. Your goals, your pace, and your well-being are at the heart of everything we do together.

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.
