About me

Are you a young woman looking to speak to a mental health professional who will understand you, not judge you, and not dismiss you?

I am a young person-centred therapist who specialises in female mental health, predominately in the 18-35 age range. My work is open-ended and non-directive, which allows for a flexible approach that is uniquely personalised. I don't provide you with a 'prescription', but embrace a collaborative approach as we work together to help you.

I can support you with a range of topics, including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, body image, nightmares and self-esteem. However, many people come to therapy without a focus, knowing only that they need to speak to someone. I aim to facilitate an accepting, non-judgemental atmosphere for you to explore what is on your mind.

If you think I may be the right therapist for you and would like to arrange a consultation, please get in touch.

“. . . you strode deeper and deeper

into the world,

determined to do

the only thing you could do—

determined to save

the only life that you could save.”

- Mary Oliver

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.
