About me
I am deeply engaged in working with people as they become more aware of their internal and relational patterns, often for the first time.
Together, we pay attention to how unhelpful narratives and behaviours developed, what they once protected, and how they now limit choice or connection. From this understanding, new ways of relating—to oneself and to others—can begin to emerge.
Working with me supports:
Awareness of patterns that are unwanted, limiting, or unconscious
Understanding the emotional and relational origins of these patterns
Addressing change with self-compassion and accountability, rather than blame
Developing clearer communication and greater psychological steadiness
Navigating responsibility, pressure, trauma, or uncertainty with care
I trust the process of this work and attend closely as it unfolds, allowing insight and change to develop in a way that is integrated and sustainable.

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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
An area that I feel very passionate is facilitating small groups for new parents-to-be, from pregnancy to parenting. The objective being, to address the subject of attachment in the early stages of pregnancy and in the first year of the baby’s life. The hope is for baby to develop a good enough attachment with both parents and parents to develop an awareness of their own experiences and how might feed into their parenting style.
The object is to reduce the issues I often see with adults who have not sufficiently been contained in the early years or feel unable to recover from abandoned feelings and insecurity.
“Bringing up Baby” groups consist of a maximum of 5 couples and who to commit to the group for 2 years, meeting on a monthly basis having a months break when their baby is born. The new family can bring baby with them to the group and explore how they feel being a new parents.
For this group the only criteria is, to be first time parents. Single sex couples, adopting parents who are waiting for the arrival of their baby and heterosexual couples are all welcome.

Further information
I work with individuals and organisations where discretion, psychological depth, and ethical boundaries are essential.
My background includes over 20 years in business, followed by 15 years as a psychotherapist and coach. This combined experience allows me to work fluently across private, relational, and organisational contexts, particularly where responsibility, visibility, or complexity are high.
Clients come to this work seeking understanding, clearer communication, and thoughtful support—without judgement, exposure, or simplification.
Confidentiality is the framework within which all work takes place predominantly on Zoom and in person where possible.
