About me

Child, adolescent & adult psychotherapist:  We are all required to make normal life changes that can be difficult for example, a school transition, change of job, relationship changes etc.  These can be quite challenging to manage. Then we have the uncertainties that are happening all around us right now with the pandemic and global change. Life is full of many uncertainties and quite often this can cause us to feel as though we are out of control leading to anxiety and stress.  I can help you to manage anxiety helping you to feel back in control again to enable a much happier and fulfilled life. 

I also work with families to enable better communication and to find effective ways to retain good emotional health throughout challenging times.

I am a Clinical Supervisor and offer supervision individually or as part of a group to both trainees and fully qualified Therapists.   I also offer group therapy to trainees. 

Contact me to find out more or for a free telephone consultation.

Worries about the COVID-19 situation, relationship problems, low self esteem, anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, addictions, self harming are amongst the many issues I can help people with.

I have worked within a wide range of settings that include: a multi national boarding school for 4-18 year olds, secondary and primary education in both individual and group work, in a hospice for long term illness and bereavement.  I have experience in working with physical and mental illness as a result of trauma and addictions.

I also work with families who feel as their communication skills have broken down.

I attend regular online development groups and ongoing training sessions which enhance my work and enables me to keep up to date with regulations, policies and modern, up to date ways of working with wellbeing and neuroscience.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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.

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.

Further information

CHILDREN AND TEENS.  Covid-19 and other global situations have contributed to anxiety rising!  Young people have experienced many changes and losses over the latter months. Because a child and teens brain is not fully developed, it processes information differently. The part of the brain used to manage emotions, make decisions, reason, & control inhibitions is constantly restructuring during the younger years, meaning children and teens are simply unable to think through things like adults can.  At times of such uncertainly like these, children & teenagers may struggle with their emotions more than ever.  If you have a child/teen who seems to be having difficulties please contact me for a free telephone consultation.

ADULTS.  Life changes can cause us to feel out of control whether it is something to do with work, finances, family or social situations, sometimes we can feel stuck and uncertain as to what to do.  Uncertainty causes stress and anxiety which, if not treated, can become a 'way of being' (a habit).  Let me help you to find ways through your anxieties so that you can get back into the driving seat and feel in control again. 

I am a Clinical Supervisor with experience in working with both trainees and qualified Therapists.   I offer 1-1 or group support in Supervision and training therapy.
