About me
I've been a qualified integrative therapist and a member of the BACP for many years . A integrative therapist means that I use a flexible, individualized approach that draws techniques from various therapeutic methods to best suits client's unique needs and situations. I have worked with a wide array of emotional struggles ( Anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, emotional and physical abuse, self harm, attachment issues and more)
I've worked within multiple schools within Hertfordshire, this helped me gain more knowledge with working with certain issues and different ages. I've now opened up my own private practice based within Hitchin town. I provide a calm, safe and confidential space for you to be able to feel safe to be able to focus on you and what you may be facing.

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.
