About me
Are you questioning whether you are autistic, ADHD (or both) or grappling with a recent diagnosis?
Have you experienced estrangement or are thinking of estranging yourself from your family? Or do you have relationship difficulties that you are unable to work through yourself?
Perhaps you have recently lost someone important to you, either through bereavement or because they no longer want to speak to you?
Are you looking for LGBTQ+ affirming therapy due to adversity you have experienced due to your gender or sexuality?
Or maybe you are here because you've identified something is not quite in your life. You are experiencing anxiety, depression or have low self-esteem or low self-confidence.
By helping you understand how your experiences have brought you to this point in your life we can find a more fulfilling way for you to live. Since 2011, I have supported hundreds of clients to work through their difficulties and to lead more fulfilling lives. Identifying your problems is the first step in working through them.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
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.
