About me
I am an accredited registered member of the BACP and am passionate about the healing power of counselling and psychotherapy and the capacity of the human psyche to heal, develop and grow. This belief, coupled with my training and experience, underpins how I work.
I can help with many underlying causes of emotional pain; mental health problems and associated physical symptoms. If you are suffering from anxiety; generalised anxiety disorder; effects of trauma; depression; distress; feeling stuck; repeating patterns; feeling confused; work place stress; relationship issues; lacking a sense of direction or needing an emotional sounding board, then investing in counselling or psychotherapy can be life enriching.
The process of counselling and therapy can be transformational and help to: develop resilience and internal emotional resources; heal emotional wounds of the past; make sense of ourselves and our place in the world; understand how we relate to others.
When you make contact: by either telephone, email or text will give you a chance to explain what you would like help with and ask me any questions you may have about how I can help. I will explain about what to expect at your initial appointment.
Your first appointment: is a two way process, it’s an opportunity to talk about any symptoms you are having and what is going on in your life which has led you to seek help. I will be assessing your clinical need and you will be assessing me and discovering how I work; if the fit feels right and you feel comfortable with me, we can make further appointments.
Areas of special interest: As well as having an interest in working in the areas mentioned above I am interested in working with experience of trauma, issues of identity, sexuality and how we are impacted by illness and disease.
My approach is integrative which means I draw on several different theoretical approaches to support my work. I have received training in the following approaches: Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Existential, CBT, Somatic Body Work and Brief term work. I also work in a client centred (or humanistic) way which means that I work differently with everyone because each of us and our needs and experiences are unique. I have experience and knowledge of the 12 step programme of recovery and have also been trained and worked with a National Bereavement Support Charity.
I am a member of EMDR UK and Trauma Aid UK and am also a registered provider of services with BUPA, Aviva, Vitality, Cigna, and Helix Health Services Ltd.

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.
