About me
I offer a highly effective therapy approach that combines non-judgmental person-centered talk therapy with evidence-based mindfulness techniques and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My collaborative and practical style focuses on meeting your unique needs, helping you manage emotions, thoughts, and distractions. You'll gain new coping skills, improved communication, and a greater sense of support and validation, leading to a more present, balanced, and meaningful life.
My 20 years of mindfulness practice form the foundation of my non-judgmental approach, enhancing your therapy experience. To know more about me and how I work, click on the link to my website.

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.
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.
