About me
'Imprint of Life Therapy'
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming and maybe a little scary. It can be hard to know what to expect, and it can seem as though the hill that you are climbing is so steep and you have no idea how therapy can change how you feel about yourself and your world. I felt the same many years ago. But, for me, therapy changed everything. We are made up of years of experiences; some sad, some happy, some testing. There is a reason for everything that we do, think, and feel. We are informed by our experiences. Do you find that your brain just won’t switch off? Do you feel down on yourself or feel as though you just cannot get motivated? Can you see repeated patterns that affect your relationships and how you view life?
You have the tools within you to ride the waves of the rough seas - you just need someone beside you whilst you navigate that. I use a mind-body approach, which means that we really sit with the effect that stress and trauma can have on our whole system. Our thoughts can trick us - our nervous system can’t. By combining the two, we can process in a way that acknowledges and explores all of your experiences, both cognitive and somatic. So, it isn't just 'talking' - it's discovering who you truly are on a deeper level and finding a way to move forward and develop the resilience and determination that is within you!
I am an experienced and qualified psychotherapist, and I dedicate my time to continual professional development. I work with anyone aged 14+. If you are affected by anything that is causing sadness, low mood, depression, or anxiety - please get in touch. I have ADHD and experience of working with others with neurodivergence, and I understand how this may impact your ability to engage in a therapeutic setting.

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.
