About me
Sometimes life feels hard. We may feel burdened by the pain of past experiences, loss, loneliness, a sense of failure or feelings of unworthiness or hopelessness. Perhaps you want to talk, but it’s difficult to open up to family and friends. Talking to a therapist can help. Therapy offers you a confidential space to explore your concerns and be listened to without judgment.
I am a person-centred psychotherapist, which means I believe that we all possess the inner wisdom to know what is causing us pain as well as the resources to move forward with our lives in healthy ways, but this capacity for self-direction can get blocked by life’s challenges. A relationship with a genuine, accepting and understanding therapist can free us to reconnect with ourselves and to find solutions to our problems. This philosophy is at the heart of my therapy practice.
I believe that what matters most is how you perceive your inner world and understand yourself, so we will work at the pace and depth you choose. My intention is not to analyse or advise you, but to listen to you and accompany you with genuine sensitivity and acceptance in your exploration of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. This can support you to make sense of painful experiences, gain new insights and deepen your trust in yourself to live a more authentic and satisfying life.

Member organisations
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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
