About me
As a psychotherapist I provide a confidential space, welcoming and accessible to all. A space where you won’t be judged, but can breathe, talk freely and start to make positive changes in your life. A space where we’ll work together to turn things around - at a pace that feels right for you.
Working with individuals, I offer both brief and longer-term therapy, depending on your needs. I work with issues such as anxiety, bereavement, depression, anger management and relationship difficulties. I also work on boosting confidence and self-esteem. I find that working through experiences like loss, attachment and trauma can be key in helping people to move on.
Sessions are via online video or ‘phone – a flexible way to access therapy from the comfort of your own space in the UK, or abroad. Subject to availability, sessions are tailored to fit your schedule and last 50 minutes (30 minute sessions can also be arranged – please contact me for details/cost).
I initially trained as a counsellor, then qualified as a psychotherapist. I’ve also undertaken post-qualifying trainings in couple therapy, clinical supervision, EMDR, CBT Skills, Solution Focused Brief therapy and Mindfulness. My approach is integrative and eclectic, drawing on various approaches to help meet your needs.

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.
