About me
I am an integrative therapist. I work holistically, drawing on different therapeutic ideas and techniques based on the needs of each individual client.
I believe therapy can help people find acceptance of themselves, even when some parts feel tough to acknowledge. I can offer a space that may feel safe enough to explore and process difficult emotions and experiences.
I see therapy as a meaningful journey of self-discovery, as well as a way to help alleviate personal suffering.

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.

Further information
I began my therapeutic training with a foundation certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy in 2008. I went on to undertake 2 further foundation certificates before beginning clinical training. I also hold a practitioner certificate in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes (CWTP). I completed my diploma in integrative counselling with The Awareness Centre. I plan to undertake an Advanced Specialist Diploma in Psychotherapy later this year.
I have experience of working with a range of issues, including working with clients who are experiencing feelings of self-doubt, low self-esteem and even toxic shame. Such feelings are often associated with parts of oneself that have been devalued. Therapy can help people acknowledge and own these parts of themselves, allowing more self-compassion and confidence.
