About me
I am a registered and accredited member of the UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy) and have many years of experience with a wide range of clients.
I bring together different approaches depending on your needs and the issues you are dealing with so that we can work effectively together. As well as being trained in humanistic and transpersonal models, I am a qualified CBT/REBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) Therapist. This means that I can work in a short-term, focussed way to help with specific problems such as phobias, generalised anxiety disorders, depression and panic attacks.
I am also a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and can work with couples and individuals on relationship and/or sexual issues. I am currently in the last stage of completing an Advanced Training Course in Couples Therapy.
Whatever your situation, therapy can help:
· It is a space for you talk openly about the things which you never talk to anyone else about and that cause you anxiety or make you feel down and bad about yourself
· It is a place to reflect on your life, to understand the things that have happened to you and how you have been affected by them so that you can start to make changes
I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where together we can explore the things that concern you so that you can start to make sense of what is happening, find out what you want from life and make changes.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Further information
I have completed Diplomas in CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and REBT (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy) - This is primarily short-term, solution-focussed work and is suitable for clients who have a specific issue or goal in mind. It is particularly effective for generalised anxiety disorder, phobias, compulsive thoughts/actions, panic attacks, depression and sleep disorders. This kind of specific work usually takes 6-12 sessions.
As a qualified Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist I work with individuals and/or couples who may be struggling with sexual or relationship issues. I am kink-aware, work with LGBTQ+ clients and also clients in polyamorous relationships.
