About me
Hello and thanks so much for visiting my profile. I’m an imaginative and compassionate therapist specialising in integrating different techniques to help clients move forwards from their emotional disturbances.
My approach is to deeply understand what causes these and set an inspiring goal to enable and empower clients to become unstuck and move forwards. After inspiring and motivating claints, we work to build:
- ways to calm, relax and self-care
- healthier ways of thinking
- more awareness of what the triggers are and learn to respond, not react
- self-confidence and resilience
This is through exercises, self-reflection, role plays and visualisations. The aim is to provide clients with a permanent and practical toolbox to move on from any disturbing emotions such anxiety, anger, guilt, shame and depression. Also, to overcome the effects of traumas, grief or behaviours such as OCD.
The inspirational changes experienced by clients and their heart-warming feedback have shown this tailored approach delivers results. Seeing this is incredibly rewarding and I am really keen to build a solid relationship with each client based on empathy, trust and much care.

Member organisations
school 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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

35 years work experience within many companies offers much insight into the psychological challenges we face within our work lives. Where helpful, experience of what made me thrive (and at times survive) is used to clarify problems and solutions for clients.
