About me
Life events may have left you feeling that you stuck in a repetitive pattern. Together we can look at what life events have lead you to feeling stuck. Staying safe through choosing not to share thoughts and feelings may have felt, to our younger self, like the best survival technique. And at that time, it was. As we develop into adults of different ages, these techniques can seem to be no longer working and life begins to feel stuck.
I believe that sharing and exploring your thoughts, feelings and experiences can feel like a relief and may potentially help with reflection and self-awareness. Self-awareness is the key to taking back control of your life. The aim is to help you realise your full potential and develop new strategies where old ones are no longer helpful. Developing self-awareness is an important goal and can lead to spontaneity and the capacity for real and meaningful relationships. No change will be instantaneous but can be full of rewards.
I work with individuals and have advanced training in working with couples. We will meet and discuss what you would like to address, discuss or change with a view to working on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period with a goal to process single issues. The aim will be to enable you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

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.
UKATA (formally the Institute of Transactional Analysis) is the national UK Transactional Analysis organisation representing all fields of TA theory and practice. TA can be used as an effective tool in a wide range of contexts such as: personal development, management, coaching, counselling, psychotherapy, teaching, education, parenting and more.
