About me
I tend to work with people with varied, often mixed, cultures and backgrounds; people who sometimes feel they don't quite belong.
We can explore a range of issues, such as: stress, anxiety and overwhelm, lack of meaning and purpose, emptiness and depression, abuse, difficulties with sex, intimacy and relationships, family conflict, shame, loss, questions to do with identity, sexuality and behaviour, among others. We move towards your goals, which can evolve during our work together, and we go at your own pace.
As an integrative psychotherapist, l use different approaches- predominantly psychodynamic, body based and person-centered, meaning that you are the source of knowledge for what we are exploring, and that our work is informed by your early life experiences and relationships, and what meaning you made of them, as well as your embodied experience here and now.
The length of our work together depends on what your needs are. We start with an initial consultation to help us figure out if we are a good fit and if we decide to go ahead, we will see each other weekly for a 50 minute session at an agreed day and time until an appropriate end determined between us.

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.
