About me
Many people seek therapy because they feel alone in their struggles. Perhaps there is something they need to say but find it difficult to articulate, even to themselves. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you as you experiment with expressing thoughts, memories, and emotions that may feel shadowy, shameful, or confusing.
Therapy offers a space to explore, to reflect, and to experiment with new ways of relating to ourselves and others. It can serve as a testing ground for life beyond the therapy room - a place to observe patterns in real time, to make peace with difficult feelings rather than being consumed by them, and to cultivate deeper self-understanding.
The relationship is perhaps the most healing aspect of therapy. I would aim to be an engaged, active participant in your therapeutic journey, ensuring that our sessions are immersive experiences rather than detached conversations. I'll provide safety and connection so you can feel the free to give space to areas of your life in which you are struggling.
Our work may involve exploring different aspects of your self, understanding where they originated and what they need to heal. Compassion might be something we focus on: softening self-criticism, accepting ourselves wholeheartedly, and ultimately feeling more at home in this world. We'll aim to release from feeling trapped or overwhelmed by pressures, fears and uncomfortable feelings; and instead grow aware of our options, calmly connected with our true, mindful self.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling from the CPPD school in north London. My training is humanistic and integrative, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, transactional analysis, inner-child work, internal family systems and CBT. This blended approach aims to bring lasting change. It combines deep emotional exploration with practical techniques. It will help you gain insight, process past experiences, and feel a greater sense of autonomy in your life.
Alongside my training, I've worked in placement for a wide range of free and low-cost mental health services. I am BACP-registered and follow their ethical framework. I have an enhanced DBS certificate.
My background is in the arts.
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.
