About me

Are you ready to break free of the sting of self-criticism, banish self-doubt, and feel confident and empowered? As an ambitious and driven person, anxiety and low self-esteem can stop you from progressing your life and reaching your goals. Even in a career that you love, recognising your worth and feeling good about yourself can be challenging. Your persistence and drive has brought you far but feeling stuck and unable to reach your potential, can be frustrating. This frustration is a good sign. It signals a readiness for change because when harnessed effectively, it is an energy that can fuel amazing growth leading to exciting opportunities and profound personal development. 

Spring and summer bring a natural energy for growth and renewal, making it the perfect time to shed old fears and to reconnect with your confident, calm, and assertive self. Your anxiety and self-doubt can become the stepping stones to a fulfilling life, where you can socialise and embrace opportunities without the weight of anxiety. Through collaborative exploration, we'll identify and address areas where you're feeling stuck, whether in your career, relationships, or personal growth. Together, we’ll pinpoint roadblocks caused by past experiences or limiting beliefs, enabling you to tackle challenges with clarity and resilience and build positive, authentic relationships. 

                    Let's ignite your journey of growth this summer.

How I Work

Let’s delve into the impact of your past experiences, so we can enrich your sense of self-worth, paving the way to freedom and empowering habits and coping mechanisms. We'll explore your identity and aspirations, unlocking your full potential, propelling you toward your goals with renewed energy and confidence. Developing inner calm can quiet self-doubt, enabling you to set healthy boundaries and navigate setbacks with resilience. With specialist knowledge, warmth and empathy, my approach nurtures self-compassion, freeing you from unrealistic expectations

Cultivating assertiveness and recognising your worth can reignite your confidence and self-belief empowering you to create positive change. Together we can help you find release from difficult thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, opening the door to genuine fulfilment. I'd love to hear about your experiences, the challenges you face, and your goals so that together, we can uncover the roots of your difficulties and create transformative change.

What Happens Next?

I understand that embarking on your therapy journey of positive change and growth, may feel a little daunting. So, I offer a complimentary Consultation call, where we can discuss your therapy needs and goals, address any questions you have, and create a personalised plan for your path forward.

We can then book in an Assessment appointment which is the beginning of your therapy. The Assessment period is designed to understand your unique needs, and goals, to determine the most effective therapeutic approach that will pave the way for targeted interventions and therapeutic progress.

Let’s embrace this season of growth and renewal and begin your therapy journey.

The Benefits of Psychotherapy

In therapy, my initial aim is simple: to ensure you feel genuinely heard, accepted, cared for, and supported—a transformative experience missing for so many. As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I draw from Humanistic, Psychodynamic, and CBT theories, exploring the root causes of pain and distress by delving into past experiences. This process unveils insights into dysfunctional habits, explaining their origins. Psychotherapy can fill developmental deficits, fostering empowerment and enabling the relearning of functional coping mechanisms. With extensive experience, I bring genuine passion and a wealth of knowledge, offering empathetic guidance through challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, personal growth, and trauma. As a Mental Health and Psychological Therapies Lecturer, I've contributed to national developments through research and taught trainee professionals.

Gaining a deeper understanding of yourself and your difficulties can enable a clearer sense of your identity and sense of purpose. Knowing how you got to where you are and the impact of life events and relationships, can enable an inner strength and feeling of safety and security.

You worry less, sleep better and feel more confident and capable.

Having a solid sense of who you are and what you want in life, can help you to make positive, lasting changes and enable you to thrive, finding peace, joy and excitement,

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Further information

Online Counselling

I currently offer both in person and online counselling. Both are effective ways to get the support you need. If you feel quietly distressed and anxious at the prospect of leaving your home, you can access therapy from the sanctuary of your armchair without having to manage a busy schedule, the travel or parking.

Online counselling have been shown to be effective as face to face counselling. This safe, hassle free and confidential method provides a convenient and safe way for you to get the support you need, right now.

And if you prefer to meet face-to-face, I offer appointments at two locations and we can discuss which venue would suit your needs and schedule.

To find out more, give me a call or drop me an email so I can answer your questions and you can find out more about me and the Counselling I provide.
