About me

Although people seek therapy for different reasons, the process of finding a suitable therapist can often be daunting and confusing. I meet everyone with honesty, genuine interest and curiosity, aiming to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and friendly space. Here, you can explore yourself, and I can support you to make positive and enduring changes.

I use a range of therapy models such as CBT (including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy), humanistic/existential and psychodynamic therapy which means I can work flexibly, adapting to your different needs and goals. I am also experienced in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Mentalisation Based Therapy, which are models of therapy designed to help with complex emotional needs and interpersonal difficulties.

My practical experience (in the UK) was gained mainly within the NHS, however I also worked in private settings and the charity sector, thus having a good understanding of services and systems. I have worked with people from many backgrounds and ages, all with varied life experiences, values, and goals.

I can help with anxiety (including GAD, health anxiety and OCD) depression, and psychosis, personality dirsorder, bipolar affective disorder. I have a special interest in complex emotional difficulties, personality disorder, addiction, identity and sexuality. My practice is trauma informed and adapted to neurodiversity (ADHD and Autism).

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.
