About me

I am an experienced, qualified Counsellor & Clinical Supervisor. My work is integrative, grounded in a Person Centred approach.  My ethos grows from a holistic and relational way of being, with a foundation of kindness and compassion. 

I offer a calm, reflective space where you can build on your strengths and navigate life's challenges. Together we can make sense of your experiences and always honour your uniqueness.

I provide a depth of sensitivity and work with respect for difference, diversity and cultural attunement. 

My specialisms are trauma-focused therapy for PTSD and adverse childhood experiences. I support clients in navigating difficult emotional experiences, including complex and traumatic grief, anticipatory loss, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, self harm and suicidal thoughts.

Alongside the Person Centred model of therapy, I am also able to draw on other humanistic approaches to support my work through mindfulness.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
