About me
My Psychotherapy career spans accross 20years and in this time I have studied various modalities and approaches within the field of counselling, psychotherapy, clinical supervision and organisational consultancy.
Accessing psychotherapy and sharing or talking about life's challenges can feel deeply personal and due to this, more often than not, people tend to experience some ambivalence about seeking therapy. With this in mind, I aim to provide a safe, non judgmental and confidential space where we will work collaboratively in exploring your reasons for coming to therapy. We will use weekly therapy sessions as a way of analysing your thoughts, feelings and behaviours to enable a deeper understanding and further insight into your current presenting mental health and well being challenges. With this insight, we can then develop ways in which you can move forward, into more balanced emotional experiences and where necessary life changes.
The course of therapy suitable to each individuals presentation will be discussed and agreed as part of an initial consultation (first meeting), where a therapuetic agreement will be co created.

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).
