About me
I am a fully qualified and full-time experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor who works with her deep professional and personal experiences to help you get to the root of your problems. I work with adults, couples, children & adolescents, and families. I also offer clinical supervision.
I can give you professional support and assist you in gaining insight and understanding about yourself, your relationships, and your life events. I will provide you with the opportunity for you to talk about your thoughts and feelings in a safe and confidential environment. My aim will be to build a trusting and honest relationship so we can work through the complex demands of life that you face, exploring and constructively working with issues, problems and underlying patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviour in a fluid, empathic and non-judgemental way.
Prior to my professional training as a Counsellor, I had a wealth of experience working within the Human Resources and Employment Law business arena and I draw upon this in my work with workplace counselling. My core training is Integrative which is informed by Psychodynamic, Integrative/Humanistic, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I can help you decide the most appropriate approach for your therapeutic work or this can be left to me to decide based on what you hope to achieve.

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.
