I work from a variety of perspectives including psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT). I also frequently draw on Mindfulness and Schema therapy. I use these models in an integrative and sensitive manner in order to respond effectively to your specific goals and needs.

I am registered with the BPS and the HCPC.

Member organisations
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 HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
