About me

I see individual adults online using the platform, Google Meet. I aim to build a safe and trusting relationship as the foundation of the therapy so that more explorative work around trauma and mental health difficulties can develop.

The effects of childhood experiences, environments and cultural/societal influences all play a part in how we think and behave. I consider all of these aspects alongside the neurodevelopmental and biological makeup of my clients to understand each unique individual I work with.

I have experience in supporting adults and young people who have suffered childhood trauma, particularly relational trauma. I also have a specialist interest and post-qualifying training, in neurodevelopmental differences and supporting individuals who are curious about neurodivergent traits or have been diagnosed Autistic or ADHD.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy
  • MA in Social Anthropology
  • BA in Health Studies
  • MBACP -  Accredited member of the BACP. 
  • Aspire Autism Consultancy:
  • -Best Practice when supporting Autistic Clients
  • -ADHD in the Therapy Room

My core training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy which makes sense of thoughts, feelings and unconscious patterns of behaviour based on our early years’ experiences. I incorporate elements of CBT and psycho-education and continue to enhance my skillset by keeping abreast of current research. I draw on theories of attachment and trauma, but ultimately, I am led by the needs of my clients as we work collaboratively together.

My previous psychotherapeutic work has been within charity and university settings and before training as a psychotherapist I spent 10+ years in the corporate sector. I therefore understand workplace stress and the effects of burnout.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
