About me

Hello and welcome to my transformational therapy.   I have 15 years of client experience and have an extensive range of personal experience, training, studies, and approaches to support you in your goals. 

I help address the root cause of your issues to create empowerment and skills for processing unfinished business and achieve positive change, growth, and healing.   

I specialise in attending to: difficulties and trauma experienced from childhood; emotional/cognitive issues, negativity, anxiety, codependency & relationship difficulties amongst a wide range of other issues.

Tuesday - Thursday am/pm:

I offer half, single, double and fast-track sessions, and I am available on a weekly, fortnightly and monthly basis.  I also offer an optional free consultation/assessment.  

My therapy is Integrative Psychotherapy (Humanistic/Psychodynamic), and can also include EFT Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), Psychoeducation, Spiritually, and Walk and Talk Therapy, and Holistic Well-Being Support for Individuals and Groups.  My approaches include working with the  Subconscious, Somatic Experiencing, Emotional Regulation, Unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, Nervous System Regulation/Polyvagal, Mindfulness, Attachment and Inner Child/Parts Work.

I am compassionate, sincere, and respectful.  I am proactive, gently challenging, and passionate about supporting those who want to improve their well-being and inner resources and create positive change. 

I can help you address:

- present and past issues

- emotional difficulties and distress

- working with the nervous system

- confusion, uncertainty, and co-dependency

- unhelpful thinking, habits, and negativity

- self-sabotage and inner conflict

- repeating negative patterns 

I can help you achieve:

- working with the root cause of the problems

- increased self-awareness and self-understanding

- improved thinking, feeling, and behaviours

- improved emotional and physical health and well-being

- an increased sense of calm and peace

- healthy coping strategies, and self-care

- personal growth, and self-realisation

I work with a vast range of issues including:

anxiety - panic - stress - anger - guilt - self-esteem - trust - relationships - loss and grief - postnatal depression - codependency - family - childhood - abuse - bereavement - trauma - identity - self-confidence - self-harm - separation and divorce - affairs and betrayal - sexuality - work - health - stuckness - confusion - pregnancy - parenting - abortion - miscarriage 

My holistic integrative approach includes many psychotherapeutic modalities and approaches including developmental relational Psychotherapy; transactional analysis; psychodynamic; attachment; internal family systems; inner child work; polyvagal theory; compassion focussed; psychoeducation; mindset management; mindfulness; somatic awareness/felt sense; holistic health; and life coaching.

I am informed by the significance of the different aspects of being a human and the impact of childhood relationships.  Childhood experiences influence our personality development, ego states, secure/insecure attachment, learning, core beliefs, connection vs protection behaviours, subconscious programming, emotional regulation, brain development, the nervous system, and energetic systems. 

My experience includes my own long-term personal therapy; voluntary work within the education system, and mental health and well-being services; healthcare support to psychiatric services; and support to mature international students.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
