About me
I am an integrative counsellor with a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy and registration with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). With over 20 years of experience in teaching and helping professions, I combine therapeutic theories and tailor them to your needs. Sometimes, I draw on creative processes and interventions focusing on your feelings and the world around you.
I understand that life can be overwhelming. You might feel confused and isolated, weighed down by your working life, complex thoughts or emotions, demotivated, or experiencing low self-esteem from relationship and work pressures. Still, it's crucial to recognise that you are not alone. The connection between you, as the client, and your therapist serves as a window into your broader relationships and can offer insights into your life's connections.
I appreciate the significance of childhood experiences and their potential to remain hidden, only to resurface later in life. My approach is firmly rooted in Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Gestalt principles. I aim to provide a compassionate and trauma-informed environment, inviting you to delve into your feelings, emotions, and underlying issues without fear of criticism or judgment. Throughout the therapy, we can gain new insight into the dynamic interplay between your past and present, facilitating a deeper understanding of your current experiences and behaviours underpinned by empathy and offering you space to share your feelings and thoughts safely. This process strongly emphasises fostering a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship, always moving at a comfortable pace for you, which has been proven to be integral to making positive change.

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.
