About me
I am an experienced BACP accredited counsellor and EMDR practitioner working in central Winchester offering Face to Face and Online therapy. Also affiliated with BUPA, Vitality, Aviva and AXA.
Maybe you have a sense of a lack of control in life, which is being driving by drugs, alcohol, porn, gambling or other harmful behaviours to mask and avoid difficult feelings, images, and memories
This maybe difficult to process, and your nervous system has found a way to regulate, due to the fear, shame, guilt and sadness you maybe experiencing Together we can explore what might be driving this and how to process the difficulties in a safe and calm way
We can also explore how presenting issues such as anxiety. anger and stress impact your daily life and if it helpful explore the patterns you exhibit by exploring early life experiences.
There is no right or wrong way of looking at therapy and you are in complete control of your sessions.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
