About me
The style of therapy I offer is relational, warm and uses the three elements of Humanistic therapy; person centred, gestalt and transactional analysis.
Having worked for many years in Social Work, I am experienced in supporting people with disabilities, age related issues, and workplace stress. I have also provided counselling with a focus on loss and grief for Ealing’s Bereft Bereavement Support service.
As a qualified workplace mediator, I understand the tensions and pressures that can build up within relationships, and I enable people to come together to resolve conflict. My coaching training has also complimented my motivational skills.
My ethnic heritage is Irish, and am committed to the promotion of diversity and compassionate acceptance. I am a musician and have insight into the highs and lows of performing and being expressive. I am passionate about creativity, community and individuality.
Sharing and talking through your experiences may help understand and process your feelings, which in turn may lead to you making good decisions in your life.
I believe therapy is not “one size fits all”. This applies to your individual circumstances, your aspirations, your culture, and your needs. That said, the service I provide will be consistent, reliable, and in keeping with the Humanistic approach.

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.

Further information
We can arrange your therapy in a way that suits you; I have an accessible therapy room, or we can meet on-line. Alternatively, by working outside (ie in parks), the benefits of nature can be incorporated into our sessions. It can also vary between these options. We can consider this as we go along.
