About me
Are you suffering with anxiety, depression or feeling sad, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, low self-esteem, relationship issues, family issues?
I aim to help you resolve your problems as swiftly as possible, and give you a positive and affirming experience of therapy. I will offer you professional and effective support to make the changes you want, and give you tools to use when issues arise in the future.
I have thirty years' experience working as a counsellor and psychotherapist, twenty of those years in the NHS, and I am an accredited member of the BACP and the BABCP. I was originally trained in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling, which means that I have a wide range of theoretical models to draw upon; this allows me to be responsive and flexible to your needs. My post-graduate CBT training and experience enable me to address many persistent difficulties, including depression, and anxiety disorders such as OCD, PTSD, social anxiety, health anxiety, panic, specific phobias and general anxiety.
We will work together for you to feel happier, lighter and more in control.

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.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
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.
