About me
I am a Registered Integrative Psychotherapist with a degree in Psychology. Psychotherapy is an exploration of self. It is about looking deeper at the cause of what is troubling you, as well as looking at ways to manage the present. We often need to process our experiences and emotions if they are affecting us in the present, so that they can be laid to rest. In addition, our attachment style (how we attach to others), based on early attachments, can affect our relationships. This and many other aspects of self and how they impact us, are explored in psychotherapy.
The relationship between the client and therapist is most important. The therapist needs to be someone you trust, connect with and feel comfortable with; someone who understands you and cares.
I work with and have experience with a wide variety of issues, including: depression, anxiety, social anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, trauma and abuse, loneliness, feeling sad, identity and family issues. If there is anything that is troubling you, therapy can help you to find clarity and to feel better.
I use psychodynamic, person-centred, gestalt, transpersonal and existential therapies to explore the past, the unconscious and the present. I also use bodywork, visualisations and drawing, if the client is comfortable with this and where appropriate.
I am open to all things, and will not judge you. I believe that we are all unique. I am sensitive and compassionate and have a great deal of life experience, which enables me to understand another's pain.
Therapy can also be used for personal growth, or when we cannot identify a particular problem, yet we do not feel satisfied or content with our lives. It can enable us to understand ourselves better and what we are seeking from life; it can help us to find meaning.

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.
