About me
I AM NOT CURRENTLY TAKING ON NEW CLIENTS
I'm a BACP registered psychotherapist with an MA in Integrative Psychotherapy. I am passionate about trauma-informed and inclusive psychotherapy. I believe in working collaboratively and transparently in a flexible, warm and genuine way. I am trained integratively in existential, psychodynamic and humanistic approaches. I have worked with complex trauma and attachment trauma extensively in an acceptance-focused and embodied way. In my work I draw on a number of different therapeutic approaches in order to tailor the way we use the sessions and the kind of conversations we have to you. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship that respects your personal experiences, needs, priorities, and boundaries.
Whether that's just listening a lot and giving you space to think about what's going on for you; or more actively observing and reflecting on patterns in how you are relating to things in your life and your past so we can explore and understand them together; or working together to develop concrete strategies for living with trauma, stress or depression.

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.
