About me
I provide therapeutic services for adults and teenagers experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and trauma. I offer a safe, supportive, compassionate and non-judgemental space for you to come and bring your story and get the help you need in an empathic and non-judgemental way. Our work together will help you feel better, happier, improve your relationships, be allow you to be more open to new opportunities and choices, and build the life you want.
My main modality is Transactional Analysis, however I also use other modalities such as CBT and art therapy. Sessions are available face to face, via Zoom or 'Walk and Talk'. I put my clients in the very centre of my work, taking care to build a unique, trusting and supportive relationship with them to help them achieve their changes.
Our work together can be short-term or longer-term depending on what you feel you need.

Member organisations
UKATA (formally the Institute of Transactional Analysis) is the national UK Transactional Analysis organisation representing all fields of TA theory and practice. TA can be used as an effective tool in a wide range of contexts such as: personal development, management, coaching, counselling, psychotherapy, teaching, education, parenting and more.
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.
