About me
Whether you’re going through a serious life change, a bereavement or are struggling with an issue you would like to explore, I offer a safe, friendly and non-judgemental space in which to work through whatever is on your mind.
As an integrative therapist, I am trained and experienced in a range of therapies, specialising in the psychodynamic, existential and humanistic modalities. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all relationship and drawing on a range of techniques helps me tailor the best approach to help you move forward.
You may be struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks or relationships. These are issues I am experienced with. I can also help with suicidal thoughts, finding one’s purpose, eating disorders, creative block, addiction, self-harm, LGBTQI+ issues and more.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Therapy from CPPD and have worked in many organisational settings including the NHS, schools and charity therapy services.
Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
