About me
Thank you for clicking onto my profile!
A little about me - having experience of running a private therapy service for many years and also several years within the IAPT Primary Care sector, I have a passion for supporting in many areas of psychological distress, such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, trauma, domestic violence and sexual abuse, with an intention of offering affordable private therapy with minimum waiting times. I work in an integrative way which means that each Clients' needs are met as individually and uniquely as they are themselves, with approaches/interventions often combined intuitively, to help clients find their answers to difficulties they may be experiencing in their life. Individuals also often wish to focus on personal development and/or spiritual development, EMDR to experience a more direct approach to difficulties by accessing the memory network and processing unresolved issues, or those who simply want someone to listen and understand.
My approach - I would describe this as just being myself; a warm and genuine, person-centred approach, helping individuals to find the answers that are right for them; what hurts and why - also supporting practicing Counsellors too, in order for them to continue to work effectively and with resilience, all within a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space.
Appointments are available in person, online or by telephone.
FREE initial appointment (30 minutes), with no obligation to continue if I'm not the right therapist for you!
Student Counsellors - I also have a passion for working closely with Students who are beginning their journey of Counselling training, offering personal therapy and Clinical Supervision, to prepare them to begin working with their own Clients and discover who their core self is and why!
A final note - The process of change can be challenging as individuals learn more about themselves, what truly hurts and why, but I absolutely believe that with the support of the therapeutic relationship and a firm trust in the process itself, this change becomes a gift, trust in the 'self' and intuition becomes stronger and to see individuals grow and heal, I feel, is truly magical indeed.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
