About me
*Online only*
An experienced Therapeutic Coach and Clinical Supervisor, trained to Masters level in therapy and coaching. I work with a broad range of adults and young people with a range of needs. Although, I primarily support clients from the neurodivergent community (pre and post diagnosis).
I work in a solution-focused, respectful and compassionate way. Building trust in our relationship is the most important part of the work we do together.
My approach to the therapeutic process is gentle and collaborative.
We will work together to increase your self-awareness- I will help you explore and understand your emotions, then we will work toward making the changes you would like to achieve in your life.
Please visit my website for more information about the online services I offer to individuals, parents and supervision for therapists.

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.

Further information
Drawing on my own personal experiences of counselling and coaching I believe focusing on just one or the other often isn't enough for many clients. As a Therapeutic Coach I am able to meet the needs of a wider range of clients.
I have been trained in, and practice the Personal Consultancy Model. Practioners that use this model view the therapy element as strengthening the foundations of a house, whereas coaching is working on the house itself. Strengthening of the foundations can provide a more stable base to build upon, coaching is the work on the building itself.
There are four stages to the model. Initially, I will just listen to fully and empathically understand your situation. Then we work together to recognise any underlying issues that may have led to your current circumstances. Moving forward, we will try different approaches and experiments with tools that could help you manage and move past any underlying issues. Finally, I will support you in continuing to use these new approaches and tools to increase confidence allowing to you to move forward in your direction of choice.
The model works particularly well for neurodivergent individuals. The framework allows for a wide range of approaches to be used by the Therapeutic Coach to support the client in both emotional and practical ways.
