About me
"We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses." Carl Jung
I am a qualified, accredited psychotherapist and counsellor who started my journey as a client. I understand finding the right person to talk to is daunting and offer a warm, non-judgemental space for you to explore your concerns. These may have been bubbling up for many years or be new, related to a specific event. Either way, talking to someone outside of your family or social network really helps as you can say anything without fear of criticism or unwanted 'advice.'
I work with a wide range of clients from a variety of backgrounds using an integrative approach. This means I can tailor my practice to your personal needs. I also offer a free consultation to help you decide if you would like to work with me.
I start with creating a genogram (a rich, informative family tree) that helps us think together about your family of origin. This takes us beyond what was passed down consciously from generation to generation to the transgenerational - secrets or unspoken material that impacts your life. Clients enjoy this exploration as they feel 'really seen and understood'. It also helps to warm them up to themes without triggering too many difficult feelings in the early stages of therapy.
I use a combination of talking therapy and creative methods with clients. It can help to externalize difficult issues by writing them down or exploring them with small world objects. I will ask you to think about the roles you play at work, home and socially as well as the different parts of your inner world focusing on what already serves you well and what you would like to change.
Thank you for reading this. If you are interested in learning more or having a free consultation, please contact me.

Member organisations
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
