About me
You may be looking at this page because you are experiencing anxiety or depression; maybe you have had a recent loss or other trauma, or a significant life change; perhaps life is just tough, and you need help to build your resilience; or maybe you’ve decided the time is right to look more closely at some past event, or some aspect of your life, your behaviours, your relationships, that don’t feel as satisfactory as you’d like them to.
Perhaps something big is looming and you’re feeling unsure about what decision to take or how you will cope. Perhaps you are feeling sad, or you just feel “uuughhhh!” and don’t want to feel like that anymore.
Whatever is troubling you, talking to the right person can help.
I am an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor. This means I draw on a variety of counselling approaches in how I work, and precisely what this looks like will depend on the relationship we build. Whatever you say to me is received without judgment and held in confidence. I will aim, together with you, to create a safe and open space where you can, when you are ready, and in your own time, lay out your troubles and your joys so you can see them more clearly.
I believe the first step towards change is awareness, and then acceptance - when we use a map, we have to know and accept where we are before we can find the route to our destination.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
