About me
Empathy lies at the core of my therapeutic approach. I believe in the power of empathy to foster a strong therapeutic alliance, where you can feel truly seen, heard, and validated. I strive to create a warm and non-judgmental environment, enabling you to share your experiences openly and honestly. Through this empathetic connection, we will explore the roots of your challenges and work towards finding solutions that align with your personal values and goals.
My integrative approach combines various therapeutic modalities, drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioural theories. This tailored approach allows me to adapt to your unique needs and preferences, ensuring that our therapeutic journey is personalized and effective. I firmly believe that no single approach fits all, and by integrating different techniques, we can create a comprehensive framework that meets your specific requirements.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked in a number of settings from NHS surgeries, charities and private practice. I trained at the Minster Centre in integrative psychotherapy and also at Roehampton in Psychology, I am a registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I have experience working with a wide variety of clients and believe that it is a privilege to be part of ones self discovery journey.
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.

Further information
Mental health is becoming less of a taboo subject but we believe everyone should be talking about it more, we exercise our bodies to keep healthy but what about our minds? Shadow Psychotherapy provides a space which is non-judgmental and confidential to share how you are feeling and what is going on for you.
The reason we are called Shadow Psychotherapy is that we believe as much as we try to repress difficult memories that have happened in our life consciously or unconsciously, they follow us around, much like a shadow. They can present themselves in difficult ways to get our attention, such as anxiety.
If we think of our shadows consisting of the pain, doubts, sorrows, fears, regrets, shames, violence, resentment that are formed by our life experiences, it sounds rather heavy. How would it sound if we could start shining a light on those parts, get to know them at your pace, safely, not having to use the energy to ignore them any longer but to lean into them. Your shadow is still there, but it is now a friend and feels a little lighter.
