About me

I offer you a space in which you can think and talk, and an opportunity to explore difficult feelings and emotions in a confidential and non-judgmental environment.

I believe by working together towards new insights, I can help you to gain a better and deeper understanding of yourself and your emotions, and to identify and deal with difficult personal anxieties and relationship issues.

My approach is psychodynamic, which means us exploring together how past experiences and relationships influence how you cope with and feel about things you are facing in the present.

As well as my private practice, I work for a charity that provides counselling services in the community. I have also worked as a counsellor for young people alongside clinical and social services teams in the NHS.

As a Member of BACP I work to its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, and am committed to my own continuing professional development in the field.

Member organisations

BACP
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.
