About me

I offer a safe and confidential space where you can feel truly heard - where you’re free to explore your thoughts, feelings, and the experiences that have brought you to therapy. Our work together is grounded in a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, where you’re supported in bringing all aspects of yourself. Together, we’ll gently explore any patterns or emotional responses that may have become stuck, habitual, or just outside of your conscious awareness.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an accredited EMDR therapist (EMDR UK). My work includes supporting individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and more complex conditions such as bipolar disorder and schizoid personality disorder.

Member organisations

school 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.

Further information

I have had the good fortune to live and work in 8 countries, including Italy, Denmark, Netherlands and the US. Experiencing and absorbing different cultures has given me a deep understanding and appreciation for multiculturalism and the universal truths that unite us all.

I also bring lessons learned from 20+ years in corporate marketing. So, my own life experiences have equipped me with a keen insight into the challenges a professional might face adjusting to a multicultural environment or professional landscape. We can approach these challenges with coping strategies to manage the demanding lifestyle of a fast paced career.
