About me
Welcome to my website,
Hello, I’m an experienced and compassionate Integrative Therapist/ Psychotherapist with over 25 years of working with children, young people, and adults. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients in a range of settings, including education, the charity sector, voluntary organisations, and multidisciplinary teams. My aim has always been to provide thoughtful, effective therapeutic support rooted in empathy and understanding.
I have been working with children, young people and adults for over 25 years in a multitude of settings including education, charity, voluntary organisations and multidisciplinary teams (MDT) collaboratively providing comprehensive care and therapeutic support. I strongly believe that our experiences can be explored and worked through when they have impacted our lives. These may evoke feelings of anxiety, low mood or trauma which may affect how you feel and live your life. For me it is important that clients have the freedom to explore experiences in a private, warm, safe space.
I have extensive experience of working as Therapist/ Psychotherapist with the following issues such as anxiety, anger, loss, low self-esteem, and self-confidence, depression, substance abuse, anxiety, bereavement, domestic abuse, sexual violence, self-harm, feeling sad, panic disorders, relationship issues and more.

About Me
I have been working with children, young people, adults, and families for over 20 years. My journey provided me with a pathway to work abroad in Boston, Massachusetts, USA for 2 years as a senior Residential Counsellor within a mental health unit. I have also worked in schools for the past 15 years providing therapeutic support for children and families for the last 4 years. Having trained as a counsellor I graduated with my postgraduate diploma in counselling in 2012 from Place2Be and University of East London. I then went on to graduate with my Master of Arts in counselling.
My own pathway into counselling and as a counsellor has provided me with belief that counselling can help to clarify the problems and challenges in life and help to explore and heal those experiences that impact upon our lives. I believe that every client is unique and I can use creative materials if necessary by the client in therapy to help explore and come to terms with the problems. By this way of working I feel that clients will be able make the steps for positive changes in life.
My desire is to help clients find their self worth and true potential in life and society. There are moments which change our life forever. Through my work as a counsellor I endeavour to enable clients to find their opportunity for change.
I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Children and Young People, Improving Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) Therapy, Parent Training Programme in 2019.
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.

Further information
If counselling interests you , I would be able to offer a reduced fee for an initial consultation session to talk further about your concerns and what you have been going through and experiencing ( how counselling will benefit you). We can explore and gain a sense of whether therapy is what you would like and what you want from the therapy. We can look at a day and time that suits you best and whether it will be short or long term work.
I work weekdays and I am available weekends Saturday and Sundays until 9pm.
