About me
About me
I have worked in mental health for 15 years, and have been awarded Fellowships for my contributions to the field from both The Wellcome Trust and the Churchill Fellowship.
I am active as a mental health researcher, with an especial interest in post-partum maternal mental health, with recent research published in the British Medical Journal.
I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy at Gestalt Centre Wales, and my training in couples psychotherapy at The Centre for Relational Couples Therapy.
Becoming a therapist was very much informed by my own experience of the effects of adverse childhood experience on my own life, and recovery from serious psychiatric illness in my early twenties.
About my practice
My clients and I work together to build a relationship engendered by honesty, acceptance and trust. And in the safety of the relationship, the work gets done.
Through deep listening, asking questions and sharing my responses and observations, I help clients to uncover and understand emotional and behavioural patterns at work in their lives, and support them to discover and develop alternative approaches to life and relationships, that serve them better.
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and undergo regular clinical supervision and training.

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.
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.
