About me
I am a BACP registered integrative humanistic and psychodynamic counsellor.
I can help you to connect the dots, making sense of what has happened in your life and why/how it's affecting you now.
I will encourage you to explore feelings at your own pace, at times gently challenging you and enabling you to notice blind spots and patterns.
By bringing awareness and insight to difficult aspects of your life you will be able to move towards effective change and self growth.
I will create a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space for you to explore feelings, thoughts and behaviour.
I'll also encourage you to explore the therapeutic relationship between us, what it brings up for you and how it relates to your relationships outside of the therapy room.
My approach is tailored towards each client and I will draw upon humanistic and psychodynamic models of therapy. I have a particular interest in mindfulness and the mind-body connection. I work to the BACP ethical framework.
Previously I worked in the music industry which gave me an insight into the effects of burnout, stress and depression which can stem from high pressured careers.
I have experience of working with anger, depression, anxiety, attachment issues, suicidal thoughts, trauma, family issues, low self esteem, adhd, eating disorders, OCD, addiction, self harm, relationship difficulties, sexual identity, parenting, childhood abuse, gender identity, cultural issues, stress, bereavement and loss.
I offer short term and long term therapy, in person, online or by phone.

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.
