About me
Prior to my counselling and psychotherapy training, my background was in psychology. I am an integrative psychotherapist, adapting to your individuality by blending multiple methods and theories including (but not limited to) person-centred therapy, attachment theory, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and compassion focused therapy.
Sessions will provide a non-judgmental, empathetic and confidential space where you feel able to explore more of yourself and share any difficulties you are experiencing, as this facilitates achieving your therapeutic goals.

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
As an individual member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I adhere to the BACP ethical framework. To further my own professional development I attend supervision sessions regularly as well as continuous professional development with an interest in trauma-informed practice.
You can find out more about the ethical responsibilities mentioned by visiting the links below:

Sessions will last 50 minutes and face-to-face sessions will need to be confirmed or cancelled at least 48 hours prior to our agreed time, to allow me to cancel the room booking if necessary. Unfortunately, cancellations without 48 hours notice will incur a cost.
