About me
If you're here and reading this, something has probably shifted. Maybe you can't quite name it, just a feeling that things aren't sitting right. Or maybe you know exactly what it is but aren't sure that talking to someone will help. Either way, you don't need to have it all figured out before reaching out.
A lot of clients I have worked with arrive unsure of what to expect. Some have been thinking about it for a while. Others have reached a point where something has to give. That's completely normal, and there's no wrong reason to seek help and support.
In our first conversation, I'll take the pressure off. I'll explain how it works, what to expect, and then the rest is yours. Whatever feels comfortable, whatever comes to mind. There's no script and no pressure to bare your soul in session one. We go at your pace.
I work with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship difficulties, loneliness, grief, loss of confidence, feeling low, or just a general worry that life isn't where you want it to be. You don't always need a label, you just need to feel like something could be better.
I trained in London and draw on a range of approaches depending on what suits you, including psychodynamic, Gestalt, and attachment-based work. I offer sessions online, so wherever you are, we can make it work.
If you'd like to see whether we're a good fit, drop me a message. I offer a free introductory call, no commitment, just a conversation.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling and am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also currently studying to obtain a diploma in Counselling for children and young people.
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.
