About me
I am an integrative psychotherapist and I offer individual therapy to clients over the age of 16. Therapy offers the opportunity for you to talk about the difficulties that may be causing you emotional distress and that you feel you cannot manage on your own. I offer the space to do this in an open and confidential way that is rarely possible with friends and family. This may include exploring how earlier childhood experiences might be influencing how you react/respond to certain situations. The range of difficulties that you face might include relationships issues (intimate, family, social), mental health issues, sexual issues, anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.
Whatever your reasons for considering therapy; finding the right therapist is crucial. I offer a safe and non-judgemental space for you to explore your needs and the personal circumstances that have brought you to therapy. We will look at what you hope to gain and how we may work together to help you to achieve your goals. If you do decide to continue onto ongoing therapy I offer weekly sessions or twice a week sessions.
I am an integrative psychotherapist and my approach fits around the needs and personal circumstances of each person I work with. Integrative psychotherapy combines elements drawn from different schools of psychological theory and research. My practice is predominately informed by psychodynamic, relational and attachment theory. I draw on ideas from humanistic and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and all of my work is underpinned with a trauma informed model.

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.
