About me
Sometimes as we go through life we can experience seemingly overwhelming difficulties like anxiety, depression or struggling with where you are in life such as middle age or menopause and don't understand why. At times like this it can be beneficial to enlist the help of a trained professional, who will listen and understand without judgement.
As I work online I can offer an opportunity to work together to help you understand your particular situation, looking perhaps at things that happened in your past that influence how you manage things in the present. Understanding these can help you manage your life more effectively now and in the future.
We can meet by Zoom for either a set number of sessions (6 to 12) or for as long as required (open ended), each session lasting 50 minutes at the same time each week.

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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). 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).
