About me

As a therapist, my primary commitment is to the well-being and growth of my clients. Over the past 15 years, I have dedicated myself to creating a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. 
I prioritise the individual needs of each client to ensure therapy is tailored to their unique circumstances.

I am committed to protecting the privacy of my clients and building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

My goal is to empower clients to develop resilience and coping skills that enable them to navigate life’s challenges.

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.
