About me
About me.
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a trained psychotherapist and an accredited member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which is the professional association for members of the counselling professions in the UK.
Service I offer.
Over the years I have worked with people who experienced trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, burnout, stress, addiction, domestic abuse, miscarriage, bereavement, discrimination, racism, redundancy and other mental health and wellbeing related issues.
As we explore issues together, we will also identify underlying reasons that lead to those issues. By taking this approach, you will be better informed to proactively self manage as you go forward.
My approach.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to discuss issues and build a trusted relationship.
I see therapy as two peers solving problems and growing together. We will work together to help you steady the situation, bring back clarity and strengthen the way forward. I am here to support you during your most challenging circumstances.
Next Steps.
Please reach out today for an initial discussion. We can agree a date and time for an introductory session. I am keen to support you and look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes.
Training, qualifications & experience
My training is grounded in existential and integrative approaches which mean I draw from different modalities to suit your needs. I trained at the world famous Regents University, London, a world renowned training institute for psychotherapy and psychology.
I am an accredited registered member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which is the professional association for members of the counselling professions in the UK.
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.

Additional information
I believe, for therapy to be successful, it is important that we are both able to work with each other. It is important to establish this at the outset as the therapeutic relationship is based on Trust. We can discuss fees during this session.
