About me

Hello and thanks for visiting my profile. I specialise in working online and in person with children, adolescents, and adults, from diverse backgrounds with various difficulties. Most commonly, I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, trauma, self-esteem concerns, attachment difficulties, abuse and with questions of identity.

Sometimes there are challenges in life, is there an area of your life that you are struggling with? Perhaps you are experiencing difficulties in your relationships, feelings stuck in your existence, or feeling empty and unable to move forward. 

My counselling and therapy sessions offer a non-judgemental space for you to identify what you would like to change. Whatever you are going through, we can explore together to help you make sense of your experiences.

My approach

My role as a therapist is to help you gain insight and clarity into the issues you bring. My integrative style allows me to adapt in accordance with your needs. This enables me to offer alternative methods of helping you. When it comes to therapy, there is no one size fits all, different people benefit from other models at different times. I recognise each person as unique and aim to be fluid and responsive to that by combing techniques.

My empathic understanding and emotional connection with my clients is the essence of my approach that creates a successful therapeutic relationship. I view this as being beneficial in your journey of emotional and psychological healing. For me, therapy is not about telling you what to do, it is about nurturing personal growth to help you to find your own solutions.

What happens in a therapy session?

I see therapy as a collaborative partnership that involves having an opportunity to explore your world in a confidential setting. Coming to therapy can offer you a comfortable space for you to unload the stresses of life in which you can experience being heard.

Being supported, valued and understood can lead to new ways of understanding yourself. Establishing and setting therapeutic goals can help you identify what you hope to achieve or accomplish. I aim to help you to understand what is causing and maintaining your difficulties as it is important for progress and recovery. I will be guided by you and together we can find new ways of dealing with the challenges you are facing.

If you think I may be able to help you please call or email me and we can arrange a FREE complimentary 20-minute telephone/video consultation. This will give you the opportunity to ask any questions and to ensure you are fully informed of the type of therapeutic service I provide before you commit to therapy.

Member organisations

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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).
