About me
I am here to provide a non-judgemental space for you to be heard and to help you understand yourself more deeply. I ask questions and offer interpretations and frameworks, as together we explore options and new perspectives. I bring focused attention and acceptance, structured support and therapeutic insight which allow you to identify your needs and find solutions to the challenges you are facing.
My therapy practice builds on my coaching, training and management career. I have over thirty years of professional experience working with individuals, groups and teams on behavioural, wellbeing and leadership interventions that have helped people realise their full potential and increase their sense of satisfaction.
Clients come to me when they feel hopeless, misunderstood and stuck; they may be looking for a way to feel more connection and joy; they often know that life could and should be better for them, that their mental health could be stronger, but they just cannot get there on their own.
I work well with clients who have experienced depression, anxiety, grief and loss and those who are trying to find their place in a new life stage, as well as individuals who are impacted by shame and those seeking healing from past trauma. I have significant experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and people in non-traditional relationships. I work with many neuroatypical clients and tailor my approach to fit their way of thinking.
Getting started
I propose an initial 15 min, no-cost phone / Zoom conversation to test the fit between us, and for us to decide if we want to work together.
In our first full session we will explore the key reasons you are seeking therapy at this point in your life. We will go on to set clear goals and time frames for our work together. Regular reviews will give you the opportunity to evaluate progress and for us to hone our approach so it has most meaning and impact for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
The foundation of my approach is humanistic, integrated with different elements of evidence-based psychotherapeutic disciplines. A humanistic approach to therapy asserts that all humans are unique, with potential for continued growth in love, fulfilment, self-worth and autonomy. How we have experienced the world so far, our past relationships and our childhood, all shape how we interpret the world today.
I draw on other approaches that have been shown to help people break patterns and uncover perspectives that help us to drive change. I use techniques from different “schools” and models such as CBT, Gestalt and short-term psychodynamic therapy. I value the role that psychoeducation plays in therapy – openly sharing models and frameworks with clients rather than perpetuating a sense of mystery around the process.
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.
