MA, MBACP (Accred)

About me

I work integratively, drawing primarily from psychodynamic principles. This means I support the exploration of past experiences that may be influencing current patterns, behaviours, and relationships. My approach is flexible and always tailored to your unique needs and pace.

Sessions are client-led, focusing on what matters most to you. You decide what to bring into each session, and together we explore your experiences in a way that feels safe and meaningful. My aim is to support your well-being by helping you become more aware of the unconscious thoughts and motivations that may be shaping your everyday life.

I am committed to supporting neurodivergent & clients with ADHD develop executive function skills, emotional regulation, self-compassion, burnout & relationship issues, focusing on strengths & coping strategies

Training, qualifications & experience

I'm an experienced Integrative Relational Psychotherapist and Counselling Supervisor, with over 10 years of experience running a successful private practice. My aim is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore whatever brings you to therapy free from judgement and at your own pace.

In Addition to MA in Counselling and Psychotherapy & a BSc in Psychology, I have a Diploma in Integrative & Transpersonal Supervision, Certificate in Transpersonal Couples and Relationship Counselling, Certificate in Psychosexual Studies, Postgraduate Certificate in Applied Theology & EMDR Certificate

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

ACC
Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC)

The Association of Christians in Counselling and Linked Professions (ACC) is a Christian professional membership organisation for those involved in counselling/psychotherapy and linked professions, i.e. pastoral care, coaching and spiritual direction, in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.

DBS check

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
