About me
I offer counselling to individuals, couples and families. I understand that it can take a great deal of courage to seek therapy and make that initial contact. This is why I offer a non-judgmental and empathic attitude from the outset.
I appreciate that there are many reasons why you might be seeking counselling. Maybe your issues have been triggered by recent events. Alternatively, they may stretch far back to past abuse, trauma, or narcissistic control. Problems can surface at work, socially or with family. Perhaps issues feel exacerbated by the particular challenges associated with neurodivergence such as dyslexia, autism (ASD) or ADHD. Maybe you suffer from nightmares or flashbacks following a traumatic experience and suspect Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). These are the kinds of issues that I work with.
You might be suffering from anxiety, depression, loss, or bereavement. There might be social and work anxiety, low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, exclusion, and deep loneliness, or a sense of being overwhelmed, confused or numb.
As a face-to-face and online integrative counsellor and psychotherapist I provided therapy for a range of issues both big and small over the short (6-12 session), medium (18-24 sessions) and long term (1+ years). I call on a variety of approaches. These include the person-centred, existential, cognitive, psychodynamic, and relational. This integrative counselling enables me to be very adaptable and flexible to the unique problems you might be facing.
I am mindful that commencing therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming. Consequently, I take great care to go at a pace that is right for you. I always endeavour to empower you to feel safe, secure and supported at all times.
I qualified with distinction from Inter-Psyche Training Centre in Dartford which is affiliated to the Kent and Medway NHS Trust Foundation. This is a degree level-6 qualification. I am also trained to work with couples and families. Details of my privacy policy, how I secure and how long I hold data can be found on my website.

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.
