About me

Hello and thanks so much for visiting. I’m an imaginative therapist specialising in CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), mindfulness and 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 achieve to enables us to move on and become unstuck. Then, after stabilising and calming clients, support building:

-healthier ways of thinking

-ways to calm, relax and self care

-more awareness of what is triggering them and

-self-esteem, confidence and resilience

This is through exercises, role plays and visualisations. The aim is to provide clients with a permanent and practical toolbox that can be opened to use for now and in the future. This to help prevent and manage any disturbing emotions such anxiety, anger, guilt, shame and depression. Also, to overcome the effects of traumas or grief or behaviours such as OCD.

The positive 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.

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.
