About me
I’m interested in you and how you landed here, what happened or is happening to you and how this makes you feel about yourself.
My hope is that you will find in me, someone who listens with compassion, speaks with honesty and values you without judgement.
My initial training was in a humanistic approach which is based on the principal that we all have unique way of viewing the world based on our personal experiences. It's these experiences which influence how we feel internally and how we behave externally. Emotions are not illnesses and we each communicate distress in different ways.
“In my view, the work of every professional whatever their training should be based on this principal: that however unusual, confusing, overwhelming or frightening someone’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours are, there is always a way of making sense of them.” Lucy Johnstone
So, if you feel ready to enter a brave space, to feel heard and understood. I’d like to help.

Member organisations
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.
