About me
I am a qualified and registered member of the BACP and an integrated counsellor and psychotherapist meaning I am specifically trained and experienced in working in a variety of ways (different psychological therapies) to best suit my client’s issues whether they relate to current situations and events in your life, or are due to the your past impacting on you now (or both combined!).
No matter who we are, life can get on top of us and feelings that we can’t cope, don’t know where to turn to, hopelessness, distress and anxiety can take hold and sometimes overwhelm us. But there is help, and together we can work out what is going on and find a way forward.
I work for several counselling practices, the NHS and from my own private practice in the centre of Beckenham. I provide a confidential, non-judgemental and supportive space in which we can work things out together. Getting understanding, perspective and clarity on yourself and the issues you face provides us with the platform for change.
I am working more and more with those understandably affected by the pandemic and increased anxiety, low mood and depression, isolation, relationship and family issues as well as the many different types of loss that people are going through and feeling at the moment. If you are being affected by these issues please do get in contact.
My areas of focus are:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Low self-esteem
- Relationships issues (family or partner problems / coping with separation)
- Feeling stuck, hopeless or lost in life (loss of purpose, motivation and direction)
- Other anxiety and depression related conditions and issues
- Abuse
- Anger
- Bereavement and grief
- Retirement
- Social isolation / shyness
- Social media and online issues
- Trauma

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.
