Training, qualifications & experience

Experience and approach:

My primary approach is Psychodynamic, exploring the patterns of conscious and unconscious behaviours usually formed from childhood experiences, interwoven with Music, Art and Person-Centered Therapy in order to provide my clients with a holistic experience of therapy catered to their needs.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy - using this approach, we can look at your past and your history of relationships together and at the patterns of conscious & unconscious behaviours which have influenced and continue to affect both positively and negatively your daily life. Awareness is the first step in changing those aspects of your life which you do not wish to hold onto.

Influences to my Approach:

Art & Music Therapy - art and music is integral to the human experience. Using your artistic and / or musical practice within the confines of the therapeutic relationship, we can together bring those unconscious experiences to the surface and bring more clarity and definition to those which are conscious. Furthermore, using your art and / or music we could give a voice to your story, a personal voice which you may have never had.

Person-Centered Therapy - this approach champions you, the client, as the expert of your own story. It is your story and your story to carve out of the future, whatever this future you may envision looking like. 

Professional Experience:

  • Therapist at LGBTQ+ Charity London Friend - March 2025 - Ongoing
  • Former Therapist at HQ Therapy - October 2024 - December 2025
  • Former Befriender at Dundee Pride, Reach Out Helpline - November 2021 - July 2023 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).
