About me
I wonder what brings you here today?
The challenges we each face in life are as individual as we are. We might turn to therapy when we feel lost or in pain, and our usual ways of coping aren’t enough. It can sometimes be hard to share difficult feelings and experiences with the people in our lives. In recent times, we have all experienced being cut off in different ways from the people and places that matter to us, and many of us are also feeling the effects of difficult financial conditions. At times like this, therapy offers a safe, private and supportive space, in which you can share what is happening in your life, and find the help you need to get through it.
My aim as a therapist is to offer you a sensitive, understanding and thoughtful relationship. During sessions we will explore together whatever it is that is hurting or puzzling you, understand how it came to be, and why it has been difficult to get past it. We might talk about what is happening in the here-and-now of your life, or focus on important relationships and experiences from your past, and weave these together to create new understanding. My experience is that this kind of work can help to relieve pain, and also lead to new insight and personal growth.
I can provide both open-ended and fixed-term therapy, depending on your needs and circumstances. I usually offer once-weekly meetings, and generally work face-to-face as I find this is most effective, but can offer zoom or phone therapy in exceptional circumstances.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified psychotherapist registered with UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy).
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
