About me
I am an integrative therapist which means I am trained in a variety of skills that can be tailored to suit your individual goals for therapy. Things we can try include talking therapy, creative therapy, mindfulness and confidence coaching. I work in a relaxed and fluid way and from your perspective, there is no right nor wrong way to "do" therapy - together we will find a way which works best for you.
You might be feeling anxious or low in mood and not understand why, be stressed at work or in your home life, or you may be troubled by your past. Whatever it is that's affecting how you feel, we can unpick things together to help give you some clarity and perspective. Sharing how you are feeling might not always feel easy and you may not know where to begin, and that's okay.
My focus during our sessions is to make sure the atmosphere feels relaxed and comfortable so you can be yourself and just see how things unfold. There is no pressure to show up in a certain way, and the space is yours to use as you wish. I will not judge you, nor offer you advice - I will simply be there to help guide you along your path to feeling better.

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.
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
My other passion in life is therapy dog training and I am a registered therapy dog trainer and assessor with Therapy Dog Training UK. If you have a dog who you would like to train to be your own therapy dog or whom you would like to train so you can work together to support your local community, then this is something we can discuss.
