About me
As an experienced integrative psychotherapist with an MSc from the University of Warwick, I offer a compassionate and tailored approach to therapy. Accredited by UKCP and registered with BACP, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our sessions. My integrative and holistic method draws from various therapeutic modalities, allowing me to work collaboratively with you to create a customised treatment plan. Together, we'll develop the tools you need for lasting positive change, empowering you to face life's challenges with confidence and resilience.
My journey as a therapist is enriched by diverse cross-cultural and cross-industry experiences, allowing me to bring a unique perspective to our sessions. This varied background enables me to connect with clients from all walks of life, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges you may face. Whether you're navigating cultural transitions, workplace challenges, or personal growth, my diverse experience equips me to provide empathetic and insightful support. I'm here to create a warm, inclusive and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings freely, knowing that you're truly heard and understood.
You don't have to navigate difficult times alone – I'm here to support you on your journey towards well-being and personal growth.

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.

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
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.

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
The location for face-to-face psychotherapy or coaching is wheelchair-user accessible and has lifts to access the therapy room. It has a connecting car park (pay and display) and has cafes and restaurants if family/friends/guardians need to wait. I offer a 15-minute free consultation to see if you are comfortable working with me and to answer any questions as I understand the first step can be very daunting.
