About me

I provide a safe, warm and empathic space where you can explore emotions, experiences and relationships.

Therapy can enable us to find deeper awareness and connection to our emotions and responses. Through this, we can be empowered to have greater choice, and live in a more meaningful and connected way.  

There are many reasons that you may be seeking therapy.  This might be in relation to managing stress, anxiety or depression, moving through a difficult transition or period of stuckness in life, questions or uncertainty about your identity, or over-coming difficult past experiences.

All of us are unique, so collaboratively we will identify how therapy can support you. 

I am an Integrative Relational therapist. I specialise in working with trauma, attachment/relationship issues and life transitions. In addition, I have experience working with PTSD, identity and oppression, vicarious trauma, anxiety, depression, and family issues, sexual abuse, stuckness, loss and grief, GRSD (gender, sexual and relationship diversity), stress, low-self esteem and shame.

I work both in person and online, in a time-limited and open ended way.

Alongside my private practice, I work as a group therapist in a therapeutic community with refugees and asylum seekers who are survivors of violence. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I am BACP registered with a Diploma in Integrative Counselling (Level 7).

I am also completing an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling from the Minster Centre.

Alongside my private practice, I work as a group therapist in a therapeutic community with refugees and asylum seekers who are survivors of violence. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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

There are times where it may feel difficult to reach out or commit to coming for an initial session. If this is the case for you, or if you would like to know more information to understand if working together would be right for you, please reach out via email at ibn.therapy@gmail.com

If we decide to meet, our first meeting will focus on understanding why you have come to therapy and what you hope to get out of it. It will also give us both a chance to get a sense of each other and work out if we can build a relationship that will be therapeutic for you.

I offer weekly sessions at the same time each week. Sessions last for 50 minutes.

Should you wish to arrange to meet or ask any questions please either contact me through the form on this page, or email me.
