About me
Working with a therapist can help you work through a range of issues, provide emotional support and offer coping strategies for a variety of mental health conditions such as depression, PTSD and anxiety. You may be dealing with a traumatic or difficult life event such as a death or relationship breakdown, whatever your circumstances I can help you understand your situation better, move forward with your life and see things from a new perspective. You Might want to use therapy to identify the cause of your distress or process an unresolved issue in the past or explore ways to come to terms with what troubles you in the present.
I am an experienced integrative relational therapist, I provide counselling and psychotherapy online and face to face in the West Yorkshire area. I work with a variety of issues and I integrate several different forms of therapy into my practice to meet the needs of my clients. Theoretical integration involves blending different theoretical frameworks and their methods; for me this includes a number of influences including person centred therapy, transactional analysis, mindfulness, my work is supported by theories of attachment and relationship.
Working relationally is the heart of my practice, relational theory focuses on achieving empowerment and growth through working closely with another. The collaborative relationship between the therapist and the client supports the process of self understanding enabling individuals to move forward with their lives and reach greater acceptance of themselves and others.
What we learned in the past affects the way we act in the here and now, looking at beliefs and patterns founded in our history can help us better understand how and why we are experiencing difficulties in the present. From this place of understanding we can begin to acknowledge, accept and readjust and live life more fully.
I am committed to meeting the needs of the individuals I work with at emotional depth offering support, safety, reassurance and a non judgemental response. I specialise in Grief therapy - helping bereaved clients manage their loss.

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
