About me
As you take the first steps of trying to find a therapist with whom to speak, it may feel somewhat confusing and overwhelming. It is reassuring if a therapist is both experienced and fully qualified so that you can concentrate on your journey secure in the knowledge that you will be attending a professional, confidential service.
I am experienced in offering sessions by phone and on secure online platforms. In addition to other issues, I am also experienced in supporting clients with health anxieties and adjustments due to disabilities or post surgery.
I offer a free initial conversation over the phone so that we can establish whether it would be useful to meet. You may have had therapy/counselling before or this maybe your first experience, you may feel unsure if this is for you. These are understandable questions at this unsettling stage.
About me and my therapy practice:I am a qualified Individual Psychotherapist with a range of qualifications to draw on so that I can be effective in the counselling/therapy that I offer. This may include considering repetitive or outdated patterns of thinking or behaviour that keep you stuck; working through childhood difficulties or focusing on the here and now experience of your life today. The quality of relationships or the dissatisfaction of working life may also be issues to work on. Lack of creativity or frustration may also need attention.
Our professional therapeutic relationship will develop to support this emotional work.
I am also a coach and Organisational Consultant offering a bespoke service to individuals, teams and organisations: executive coaching, support with difficulties of high absenteeism, low morale, stress in staff teams, low productivity, post merger problems, anxiety.
What I can help with: Abuse, Anxiety, Bereavement, Child related issues, Cultural issues, Depression, General counselling, Loss, Mens Issues, Personal Development, Post-natal depression, Redundancy, Relationships, Self Esteem, Sex related issues, Stress, Trauma, Womens' Issues, Work related issues and many others.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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 British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
The Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) is a registered charity. They welcome members of the public, health professionals, ACAT accredited professionals, and anyone interested in finding out more about CAT. They list CAT practitioners.
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).
