About me

I am an holistic, integrative psychotherapist and sleep specialist. This means that rather than following one approach, I use a variety of techniques to support clients with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, lifestyle change, chronic health conditions and parenting issues where sleep or fatigue are often factors.

I worked in the NHS as a Health Visitor and School Nurse before completing a diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i). I am a member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the British Sleep Society and The Royal College of Nursing.


Specialisms:
CBT-i
Parent-guided CBT-I

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
