About me
Originally an Adlerian trained counsellor I offer arts-based integrative counselling and psychotherapy to individuals or couples. I have a comfortable ground floor counselling room and can offer flexible hours. As a registered and accredited member of the BACP I adhere to their ethical framework.
My professional development is important to me so I can continue to offer my clients the best service I possibly can. Most recently (2023) I was awarded the Doctor of Psychotherapy by Professional Studies from the Metanoia Institute for Psychotherapy and Research in conjunction with Middlesex University. My research subject was an arts-based study of women's personal agency explored through the lens of adverse childhood experiences. I have Master of Education degree (Child & Adolescent Psychotherapeutic Counselling route), awarded with distinction, from the University of Cambridge. I hold practitioner status with Trauma Informed Schools and Communities with a strong focus on childhood trauma, and I have also completed Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy Level 1&2 training. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor.
Although I am trained to work with a wide range of issues I have particular interest in working with relational trauma, shame, individual adults, and children (6+) and young people. It can often be beneficial to work with the creative arts and I am trained specifically in this area; particularly helpful for children and young people but adults can find it very helpful too.
Driven from personal experiences in my own life I am passionate about my work and very much enjoy working with people who are finding life generally challenging or who have a particular issue they need support with. My style of psychotherapy is to work relationally using encouragement with respectful and gentle challenge whilst developing a client's felt sense of autonomy and agency. I believe we all have the ability to find the answers ourselves, sometimes we just need a little help in getting there.

Originally I trained and qualified as an Adlerian Counsellor. However, with subsequent intensive training I now consider myself a pluralistic therapist drawing on a variety of modalites. This means I am able to understand my client from differing viewpoints and work with them to find the best therapeutic fit. I am qualified to work with adults and also hold the Master of Education in child & adolescent psychotherapeutic counselling. I have a particular interest in child development, relational trauma and shame. My doctoral research focussed on the development of women's personal agency explored, using creative arts, through the lens of adverse childhood experiences. Having completed training in the use of clay and creative arts in therapy I offer the creative arts as one way to work within the therapeutic space. I was awarded a diploma in supervision and enjoy supervising both counsellors in training and those already qualified. I supervise counsellors at the University of Cambridge student services.
I run a thriving private practice from my comfortable counselling rooms in west Cornwall and online using the platform Zoom.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
