About me
I use psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches to therapy in a space that is safe, confidential, and empathic. We will work together to understand the core themes that you bring to help you deal with them better and progress in your life.
This process involves making links, gaining insights, and becoming aware of what is really going on in yourself. The next stage would be to process this material and help you contain it, even when it seems that things are not going to get better. By gaining more understanding and capacity to manage, more choices become possible. One starts gaining degrees of freedom and becomes more able to manage their life. It is a process that takes time and commitment.
In short-term counselling or supportive therapy, we try to focus on the particular issue(s) that you are struggling with and work on them within a limited number of sessions to explore what would help you move forward.
I provide supervision using the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision for therapists and non-therapists. It is a relational approach to supervision that explores the supervisee’s relationship to their client(s) and the supervisor, the internal process of the supervisee, the external context of their practice, and the wider environment.
I have a background in education and experience in business and nursing over many years. I subsequently trained in counselling and psychotherapy. To ensure best practice and develop my work, I attend regular supervision and additional training.

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.
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.
