About me
I see individuals and couples, either face to face or online using Zoom.
Finding the right therapist for you and asking for help can be a daunting task, especially if you are feeling anxious and uncertain. I have many years of experience across a broad range of problems, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and relationship issues.
I offer short notice appointments, so you get seen, heard, and helped quickly. You choose a location and time that works for you.

You may have been considering finding help for a while now, and finally, you have decided to take that step. All these anxious feelings are natural, you are not alone in this. With professional help, you can feel more at ease.
'Research findings have shown that some therapy is better than no therapy at all'
A 50-minute reduced fee assessment session may help you decide if I am the right Therapist for you. You can also contact me if you are uncertain regarding your type of problem. Send an email or phone.
We can work together in a confidential therapeutic relationship that will allow you to explore your experiences in a safe manner. I have experience working with individuals and couples on many types of problems. How we connect with each other determines some of the outcomes we will achieve.
Emotion-focused therapy is an effective integrative humanistic therapy, supported by research evidence. The therapy integrates person-centred therapy, gestalt therapy, constructivist methods, and psychodynamic ideas on relationship attachments. I aim to support you, value your decisions and offer therapeutic task interventions on whatever life experiences you wish to bring to therapy,
Psychological well-being is just as important as physical health.
Appointments are available at short notice.

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.
