About me

Are you experiencing difficult or toxic relationships and would like to make positive changes  and develop healthier relationships?   Is your anxiety impacting your life?  I can help you to find  effective coping strategies so you can live your life to the full.  Would you like to have a deeper understanding of past trauma and learn how to reconcile your past?  Have recent life events left you feeling low or unable to cope?  I can offer you the support you need to get your life back on track.

I offer tailor made  therapy that is as individual and unique as you are.  This is achieved by working in partnership with you in a collaborative manner to ensure that your needs and preferences are met.  As an integrative therapist I can use different types of therapy to help you benefit from your time with me.  Therapy should not just benefit you whilst in session, it should continue to support you outside of sessions too, I have developed worksheets and practical exercises to enable this support to be on-going.

I work online only  with clients using Zoom and offer potential clients a free 60 minute online consultation.  This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other and for you to decide whether I am the right therapist for you.  

If you would like to discuss your concerns with me, please email me  and I look forward to hearing from you.

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

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.
