About me

I am a fully qualified and accredited integrative and relational Psychotherapist based in Saddleworth. Understanding that this can feel a very overwhelming and daunting journey to begin, I aim to work collaboratively with you, at your pace to allow for a truly personal therapeutic experience.

In therapy, you have the dedicated space to focus your time and energy towards healing and helping yourself find answers and delve further into understanding current or past situations which may be impacting you in some way. 

I work to ensure you feel heard and understood whilst also offering reflection and insight where needed.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
