About me
I am a MBACP psychotherapist, currently offering face-to-face (M1, M7 & M25), online, telephone, and walking talking therapy sessions. You may be feeling sad, lost, or bereft. Experiencing feelings which are leaving you distressed and confused, anxious and lonely, unsure of where to turn or who can be there beside you. You may be having self-doubt or lack of confidence. Has there been a traumatic event that you haven't been able to share in a safe space? I am able to support you through life's twists & turns, by using Person-Centred and or Integrative Systemic modes of therapy, allowing me to tailor make session for you. I offer a safe non-judgmental space & the opportunity to explore your anxieties, reflect, heal & grow.
I can help you explore your bereavement and loss, as you adjust to your changed future. You may have lost someone close to you; a death of a loved one experienced suicide or a stillbirth in your family or faced sudden trauma associated with loss.
Taking the plunge to access therapy can feel like stepping into the unknown, however, through building a trusting relationship it can be a safe confidential space of exploration, leading to positive goal-building and better emotional health. By exploring the past and working together in the here and now, I can help you build a positive future. You do not need to be alone.
I work with individuals, couples, and families creating a space for growth in various facets of our lives.

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.
