About me
If it feels scarey to go into therapy, please know this. I only went into therapy years ago when I felt I was out of options! So you're in good company.
Through therapy I learned that pain, when we get to grips with it, becomes our power. It roots us in the world, helps us stay humble, and helps us grow in the areas that need work. Over the years as a clinician, leader and supervisor, I've helped hundreds of people, (and taught and supported the practitioners that help them) to forge their path to an authentic, grounded place in the world.
I'm a fully accredited UKCP registered psychotherapist and supervisor. I've been working as a clinician and supervisor for the ten years, in local authorities and the voluntary sector, and in private practice.
I use a range of evidence based tools to help our therapy work- including Compassion Focused Therapy, as well as EMDR and Rewind therapy, which can be helpful for trauma.
I specialise in neurodiversity, as I have ADHD myself, and particularly welcome people going through life transitions - whether parenthood, leaving university, gender transitions, or retirement. It would be lovely to hear from you, and see if we can begin- or fruitfully continue- that journey for you, too.
Training, qualifications & experience
I've been a mental health practitioner, clinical supervisor, and lead for wellbeing practitioners, for more than ten years, in the public sector and voluntary sector. I am a national trainer in various subjects of mental distress. I also share tiny pops of tools, techniques and training on my you tube channel, which help make wellbeing easier, and our world kinder and fairer.
My qualifications include:
- Masters in Psychotherapy (Existential)
- CBT Post Graduate Certificate
- Family and Individual Mentalisation Based Therapy
- Advanced Compassion Focused Therapy
- Chairwork
- DBT
- EMDR
- Rewind Therapy
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.
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).
