About me
Hello and warm welcome
Whatever your reason for being here is, it's valid, it matters, change is possible and talking really can help.
What I help with - My specialities:
Over the past 12 years I have helped many people with wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, relationships, self-esteem, confidence, loss, grief, anger, feeling stuck, parenting, navigating neurodiversity and identity issues.
I particularly enjoy and have extensive experience working with any form of anxiety and relationship and family dynamic issues.
I also have a wealth of experience and interest in supporting parents on their parenting journeys - becoming a parent can trigger experiences form our own childhood that were long buried, but can come to life as our own children grow.
To help you decide whether we could be a good fit, visit my website - www.tailormadetherapy.co.uk, or get in touch to schedule a free 20 minute call. I will be happy to hear from you.
How I Work - My approach
Before being a therapist and throughout my training I spent many hours working in childcare, alongside families, gaining an invaluable insight into relationship patterns, attachment styles, generational pass-downs, parenting and coping strategies and how these play out in the wider context in our lives.
My approach to therapy is warm, nurturing, non-judgemental and supportive. I can promise you honesty, transparency, confidentiality, trust, my whole undivided attention and a pinch of humour too.
Together we will untangle what is going on for you, what you need and how to get to where you want to be, in your own pace. We will identify what might be keeping you stuck and what can help you grow and thrive in life.

Training, qualifications & experience
Experience:
Over the past 12 years I have gained considerable experience working in voluntary, academic, NHS and private sectors in settings across South West London and Surrey.
My experience includes working as an associate counsellor at Kingston University and as a counsellor in a busy NHS Medical Centre / GP surgery, awarded an outstanding rating for its counselling services in their Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection.
I also have an extensive experience working in childcare, which gives me a good understanding of family dynamics, parenting and attachment issues.
Training:
I have a Degree (BSc Hons) in Psychology and Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling accredited by the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB). I work within BACP’s ethical framework for good practice, receive a regular supervision and follow a programme of continuing professional development to keep my practice up-to-date.
My style of work is integrative and relational - this means that I am able to draw upon various theoretical approaches and therapeutic techniques, such as psychodynamic, person-centred and solution-focused theories, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). The core of my work lies in creating a good and trusting relationship. Helping people to fulfil their potential by reconnecting with and building on their strengths and inner resources.
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.
