About me
Sometimes we can feel a bit broken and not know why. You might feel exhausted worrying about relationships and how other people feel about you. Maybe you wish you could feel more confident in relationships and treat yourself with more respect.
It might be that you keep repeating unhelpful patterns, working too much or feeling exhausted but you don’t feel able to stop. Replaying past events on a loop whilst trying to sleep, you imagine if you could just figure out what you're doing wrong somehow things will be better.
If any of this rings true for you, finding a private space to take your concerns where you can focus on your own needs can be a real relief.
Together we will begin to understand your experiences in a space where you won't have to focus on others, allowing you a space to reconnect with your authentic self. I offer guidance and understanding as we explore what's happened and it's impact, gently and safely navigating your experience and beliefs, we will rediscover what you may need and how to get there.
I have over 10 years experience helping people restore and repair a sense of confidence. You are welcome to book a free 15 minute telephone call so that you can ask me any questions and see if you feel we are a good fit.
Reaching out will also give you the relief of knowing you have taken the first step and you have someone on your side who you can talk to about what's going on.
Simply click on the Intro call button and choose your preferred time, ill get straight back to you.
If there isn't a convenient time available, email me with the times you are able to speak and I will get back to you within 24 hours.
Training, qualifications & experience

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.

Online Therapy
Online therapy allows you to get the support you need from the comfort of your own home. Whether its having your pet next to you, a cup of tea, sitting in a big armchair, or under a warm blanket, home can be a sanctuary whilst you get the support you need.
I use secure end-to-end encrypted video and we can arrange appointments flexibly around your commitments. Just drop me an email and we'll work out a first call from there.
