About me

I provide online video therapy for adults. This is a confidential space for you to talk about your experiences. You can bring up anything that feels important for you. I take a psychoeducational approach and will work with you to help you understand what underlies your issues and how you can move past them.

My aim is that we will work together to build a warm and trusting environment where a genuine relationship will flourish. Within this relationship we will work on any issues that are currently affecting you. Commonly this might be anxiety, depression, loss, struggling to thrive in life or a feeling that you're holding yourself back in some way.  Family issues and low self-confidence are themes I work with regularly, along with neurodiversity whether diagnosed or not. Some people feel that their mental health just isn't quite where it should be but can't put their finger on it! We will have a conversation before we start sessions to see whether or not we can work together and take it from there. 

My background is psychodynamic which means that if it's relevant we might explore patterns or difficulties in your relationships from your early days until the present. Our conversations are guided by you and what suits your needs. My aim is to meet you where you are now, and to accompany you on the journey of discovering how to enjoy and appreciate your life to the fullest.

I am a member of the BACP and abide by their ethical guidelines. 

I work inclusively and will attempt to provide every accommodation necessary for different abilities, neurodiversities, genders, sexualities and races. If you struggle to initiate the task of first contacting a therapist, you can whatsapp my phone number with a simple 'hi' and I will respond.

Member organisations

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.
