About me
I offer evening and daytime sessions of psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy.
Ongoing therapy provides the opportunity for us to make sense of your feelings, thoughts and behaviour and to help you develop resources to live life more fully.
In order to help you understand and change your situation we will explore:
- What is happening in your life at the moment.
- What has happened to you in the past.
- How the past might be impacting on the present.
- What you are thinking and feeling in the session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have extensive experience over thirty years of in working with people struggling with personal issues and mental health problems. MA Hons Philosophy, 1978; CSS, 1991; Post Grad Dip Counselling, 2009; MSc Counselling, 2009.
I am a qualified and accredited psychodynamic practitioner.
I work with people who are often struggling with personal, relationship and/or work issues which have resulted in stress, depression, anxiety, anger, low self esteem and lack of motivation. I also work with people who are experiencing physical symptoms such as headaches or problems with eating, sleeping or self-care.
Member organisations
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.

Further information
In the first session the aim is to explore your situation and what you hope to gain from therapy. If you then wish to proceed we will discuss and agree the arrangements for regular ongoing sessions.
Sessions are generally weekly and last fifty minutes.
In sessions we will explore how present feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour can be affected by unconscious motivations and how patterns of relationships in the past can be repeated and re-enacted in the present.
This process helps you to move on from the past, develop your capacity to change and to make new choices in your life.
Psychodynamic counselling and psychotherapy is generally long-term though shorter work (generally around 20 sessions) is available if this is all that is required.
