About me

Why Therapy?

Therapy is one time when it is all about you. Your experiences, your feelings. When things feel difficult – whether or not you know the reasons why, therapy can really help. How? At the heart of therapy is your relationship with your therapist. When your therapist offers you space to think and to feel, uninterrupted and without judgement, you can start to make more sense of things, together. So it’s important to find a good connection.

You may be here seeking help in your relationship. As a qualified Couples Counsellor, I am here to offer an equitable space where both of you can be heard and ruptures can be repaired. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Why me?

 I am an experienced, warm Individual and Couples Therapist with a background in Integrative, Relational and Psychodynamic Counselling. As a Registered Member of the BACP, I work to the body’s standards of Good Practice and their Code of Ethics. My approach starts with you - I am here to enter your world of meaning - your background and experiences in relation to all areas of your life: identify, gender, sexuality, race, culture, faith, mental health, neurodiversity. For this reason, I adapt my approach and draw on different psychological concepts according  to what you bring so you/your can couple explore your feelings, beliefs and behaviours in a manner that feels safe and available. From experience, I observe when people feel met in this way, they’re more able to access their emotions, make shifts and develop the self-awareness needed to create an internal sense of solace and security in an uncertain world. Together, we’ll think about what’s brought you here. Together, we’ll look at how things can be different. Together, we’ll work on it.

To ensure I’m always doing my best for you, I engage with Continuing Professional Development, all the while underpinning my practice with warmth and integrity. Specifically, I am trained in CBT, Psychosexual Studies and I am undergoing currently training in ADHD Coaching and Eating Disorders including OSFED and ARFID.

Member organisations

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
