About me
I am an existential therapist working with people from a variety of backgrounds who are navigating life's twists and turns. Whether you're going through a big change, feeling lost or struggling with something that's hard to put into words - I offer a space where we can explore this together.
More important than any theory, I believe in the power of relationship. For me, the bond formed between therapist and client can provide the foundation from which you can get what you need.
I have experience working with themes such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addiction, relationship issues, abuse, trauma, isolation, repetitive behaviours and much beyond. However, what underlines my work is an interest in some of the bigger questions that often sit underneath: Who am I? What gives my life meaning? How do I want to live?
Therapy can feel very daunting at times, yet it has the power to be uplifting and transformative. Our sessions can be serious but they can also be playful, creative and humorous – making space for lightness as well as depth. It is also a place for challenge and I will encourage you to be as open and honest as possible whilst I aim to be the same.
Together, we can reflect on your life - what's happened, what's happening and what's next.
Training, qualifications & experience
As a registered member of the BACP (MBACP) and a member of the SEA, I am a qualified psychotherapist who adheres to the highest standards of professional ethics and care.
I am continuing my studies in existential psychotherapy at Regent's University with the aim of achieving my MA and UKCP registration.
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.
