About me
I am a mature, fully qualified, accredited and experienced psychotherapist. I provide integrative counselling and trauma therapy. My treatment focus is to help individuals heal, energise and become aware of their inner strengths; I achieve this by providing a neutral, non-judgemental, confidential safe-space, listening to your concerns whilst working collaboratively to customise your treatment plan. We will find the correct therapeutic approach for your recovery, to process and come to terms with your presenting issue. I am committed to forming a good professional, therapeutic relationship as I believe this is the cornerstone of successful treatment. I believe it to be essential to work to Ethical Standards as set by professional accrediting bodies. I have experience in working with diverse presenting issues some of which are:
- Domestic Abuse
- Sexual Abuse (present and historical)
- Workplace difficulties
- Phobias
- Bereavement and Loss
- Childhood Abuse (Physical, Emotional and Sexual)
- Bullying
- Betrayal
- Trauma related presentations
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Excessive Grief
- Traffic Accident
- Witness Trauma
- Still birth and Loss of a Child

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
EMDR UK
