About me
I would first like to welcome you and let you know that, just by being curious, you are taking the first step towards reaching out.The action of visiting my website is already a courageous step towards change.
This potential journey is all about you and the experiences that have lead you here.The initial stage to the therapeutic journey is to see whether you would like to work with me. Am I going to be the right person for you, and can we work with each other?
My therapeutic practice has enabled me to work with individuals and groups from many backgrounds having worked in the creative arts, the charity sector, health and social care and education. I have gained experience and a broader understanding of life and some of the things that might be occurring in your internal and external world.
Many of my clients have suffered with issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, health, identity, loss, LGBTQIA+ and the breakdown of relationships, be that friendships, family, partner or business relationships, and most importantly, the relationship with yourself.
My childhood and life experiences have taught me to cultivate a natural curiosity, strength, compassion and empathy for others to be able to support you through those more challenging moments that life can show us.

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.

Further information
I understand getting someone to trust in the process is a big ask.
Our first interaction is the beginning of that process.
During the free online consultation
I will explain my way of working and let you know how that looks and works in practice. You may have experienced therapy before but every therapist works in their own unique way which is important for us to explore.
We will go through a mutually agreed contract as a way of working.
You will have the opportunity to ask any questions that have to do with the sessions or, what you can expect from me.
The first 15-minute consultation is free and a chance for you to ask all those unanswered questions or any queries you might have.
