About me

Beginning therapy can be a daunting experience, but equally filled with the potential to be something meaningful and helpful to you. With so many approaches available, it can be difficult to be certain which one is right for you. The relationship between client and therapist is one of the most important factors of the process, so I offer a free 20-minute video call to give you an opportunity to see if this feels like a good fit for you.

My role as a therapist is to help create a secure base, so we can explore what’s been challenging for you and learn how you can be supported.

I value working in a meaningful way that facilitates peoples’ process in understanding the impact of what they are going through at this moment in time and how the journey so far may be enabling or hindering their ability to adapt to challenges they are facing in their lives.

Healthy, caring and secure relationships can be hugely beneficial in how we feel about ourselves, others and the situations we find ourselves in. This is at the forefront of my practice. Working on building a relationship for you to feel confident and supported in processing your current or historical challenges. 

Supporting clients with:

  • Anxiety, depression, and confidence issues
  • Abuse, trauma, and PTSD
  • Family and relationship challenges
  • Bereavement and loss
  • Self-acceptance and self-compassion
  • Navigating life transitions
     

I also have a particular interest in working with neurodiverse individuals, helping them explore their unique experiences.

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.
