About me
It takes courage to ask for help.
As a skilled integrative Counselling Therapist I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space to gently explore the difficulties that can cause us pain and suffering. In my practice, I use an individualised, integrative and neurodiversity affirming approach to empower my clients, develop skills and utilise the resources within to help face and resolve life’s challenges.
I also offer Clinical Supervision to practitioners, student practitioners and other professionals.
I work with a broad range of issues which include supporting personal development, cultural transitions, couples and relationship issues, sexual issues, empowering change, life stages, coping skills and addictions, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, bereavement, redundancy and work related problems, separation and divorce.
The focus of my work is to help my clients learn to trust themselves and realise their potential. It helps to identify and understand long held beliefs and assumptions that get in the way of our health, happiness and wellbeing. This discovery gives us permission to begin to question and evaluate the beliefs and assumptions that form barriers to our healthy self-development and happiness.
To set up an initial session to discuss the help you need and what you would like to get out of counselling please send me an email to info@myintegrativetherapy.com. You can also email me via the contact form on my website www.myintegrativetherapy.com. I will be back in touch with you promptly.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society (GMBPsS). In Canada I am a Counselling Therapist (CT) with the Association of Counselling Therapy of Alberta; a Registered Professional Counsellor (RPC) and hold a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling (MPCC) designation with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA). I obtained my BA(Hons) Counselling Studies and MSc Psychology at the University of Plymouth in the UK, where I also completed my practicum training to become a Counselling Therapist and Clinical Supervisor.
I have worked within and across different cultures in different corporate professional roles throughout my life as well as with organisations such as Your Emergency Service, the Nighttime Emergency Outreach Network, the Women’s Rape and Sexual Assault Centre, Cornwall Rape and Sexual Assault Centre and the Penhaligon Counselling Agency. I currently maintain private practices in both the UK and Canada.
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.

Further information
Everyone is different and clients will respond in varying degrees to different therapeutic approaches. In my practice, drawing from relational person-centered, psychodynamic, emotion-focused and solution-focused theories, I endeavour to discover and apply which approach is most useful to you.
