About me
I’m an Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist, offering empathetic, honest and non-judgmental therapy for anxiety, depression and low self esteem, amongst a number of other issues we may experience in life. I work from a Person Centred base; using your innate self-knowledge and wisdom as part of the process. I can also work with CBT for phobias and OCD, although this is not my principal training. I operate from the position that you are a unique human being rather than a through the lens of a diagnosis or issue.
My clients bring all sorts of different emotional and mental health experiences and I believe we are not defined by them, and like physical health, we can all experience poor mental health. We can move towards a better life whatever our situation or past, with the right support and work in therapy. Areas of my work include: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, ageing, illness, grief, adults recovering from childhood sexual or emotional abuse, feeling stuck in life/career and many other problems. I’m a member of the BACP. I work face to face and online.

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.
