About me
I'm a qualified integrative counselling therapist, offering face to face and online support to individuals and couples seeking to work through their issues, be they past, present or both. I work with different modalities, including CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred, drawing on multiple therapeutic techniques dependent on client needs and goals.
My therapy practice is a safe space where I want you to feel at ease. A space where I invite you to be yourself and share openly as you wish, in confidence and at your own pace. There is no pressure to share anything you don't want to or aren't feeling ready to share.
From personal experience, I understand that the very thought of therapy can feel challenging or even scary but I know that having my feelings validated without being judged, compared or steered was unexpectedly transformational. I want to support you to achieve the benefits of therapy, understand your self worth and your value and make the changes you feel you want to make.
I have experience of working with issues such as depression, anxiety, BPD, OCD, sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse, self-harm, suicide ideation, bereavement, special educational needs. These are simply a sample and not an exhaustive list, so, I warmly welcome you to get in touch for support with whatever is on your mind.
Training, qualifications & experience
RMBACP, MNCPS (Acc.)
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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I adapt my practice as needed, to work in the most helpful and effective way for the individual client. This includes incorporating for example, art therapy, visual aids, craft aids and more, to enhance the therapeutic process and ensure it is accessible and comfortable for each. All adaptations are available to all clients at any time.
