About me
I am a fully qualified, registered MCPS therapist with over 10 years experience supporting both adults and young people in short term and long term therapy. I have a Person-centred and CBT qualification, as well as currently completing an accreditation level qualification in a new style of therapy IPT-A (Interpersonal Therapy for Adolescents) which is a structure 12 to 16 session model for supporting young peopel with depression. Depression impacts on all relationships in a persons life and this new model is evidence-bsed and effective in working with a client towards recovery from depression symptoms. I have experience of working within bereavement services, schools and community based settings, within local healthcare providers in my area, as well as working within private practice for several years. I offer support to clients struggling with grief & loss, anxiety & panic disords, low mood & depression, historic & ongoing trauma related issues, suicide & self-harm related challenges, loneliness & disconnection related challenges, relationship & friednship related difficulties, long term health related challenges & living with life limiting or new diagnosis. There's lot more I could write in my bio, however if you feel that I may be able to offer you the support you've been looking for or you'd simply like to speak and know more about myself or what I can offer you in terms of therapeutic support, please do get in touch. A phone consultation is FREE with no obligations at all. My rtes are currently £55 per session, with concessions for young people in full time education.

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.
