About me
*** currently has availability***
Health Insurance Recognised Provider: AXA, Bupa, Vitality.
I know therapy can help because it helped me. The key, I believe, is to find the right therapist, at the right time. I offer an initial 25-minute session to explore this together.
It might also be helpful to explain a little bit here how we work in our sessions. At the start, it is very much about listening to you and giving you the space to reflect on what has brought you to therapy. We might explore together how you see and experience your challenges and what you might want to achieve and accomplish with the sessions. I am comfortable and confident with most topics and issues and if for any reason I am not, I will let you know, and together we can find alternatives.
Each client is different and unique, and this greatly shapes the way we work in collaboration too. We might navigate from focusing on solutions for a very specific topic to discovering a root cause to unwanted emotion and/or behaviour. My intention is to follow what is important to you and engage with curiosity and compassion with any intention or problem you might bring to each session.
I find that the way the session tends to evolve, it usually offers an opportunity to reflect and explore what is right and of personal value to you. We often know what is burdensome and unwanted, but we might be unclear about what we would like to have/achieve/experience instead. What is most valuable to you. Such reflection is often an empowering experience, giving a voice to perhaps hidden and neglected parts of self. Then, an idea, insight, direction, a renewed strength might be found.
I do work from a perspective that challenges, struggles, difficulties and pain can also be an opportunity for integration and growth. Ultimately, it would be an honour however few, or very many sessions we might undertake together.

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.
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.
