About me
There are many reasons why someone feels they need or want to come to therapy. Challenging personal or professional circumstances, a realisation that habits and lifestyle are not helpful or healthy, an unhappy or difficult past. Sometimes it can be that little voice inside seeking change or support.
My aim is to offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore past and present life events and create your own narrative of what they mean to you and help emotional wellbeing.
My psychotherapy training is based on a Humanistic and Integrative approach which means I can draw upon different theoretical strands in my work as well as the relationship between us.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a UKCP registered and accredited Psychotherapist, I am fully qualified with a Diploma and Masters in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. I trained at Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling. (BCPC).
I am in regular supervision to support my work and continue to support my practice with regular CPD work.
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.

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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also provide compassionate therapy for people living with heart and Congenital Heart Conditions that maybe required surgery or hospitalisations in childhood or early adolescence. Who may be struggling with these events in adulthood.
My approach is rooted in lived experience and professional expertise so I completely understand both sides of this journey. I was born with a congenital heart defect and have had multiple open-heart surgeries. I know how isolating and overwhelming that can feel. I understand both sides of the medical journey, as a heart condition survivor and a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist. Having navigated multiple open-heart surgeries, I know the isolation and complexity of living with a long-term health condition.
