About me
An Integrative Approach
I use a variety of effective counselling and psychotherapy methods to create self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations
Counselling is a process that empowers clients to seize back control of their lives, whilst working through issues and problems that have caused them to lose self-esteem, as well as confidence in their own abilities.
Counselling increases self-awareness and a sense of well-being, and is often the first step individuals take on their path to discovering a more positive life.
Counselling is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike
Celebrating small changes to self-defeating behaviours and coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
My Philosophy
Atma Prima:
Atma Prema can be translated as “self-love.” This is not the self as we usually think of it, but the essential self, the self that exists at the centre of all of us.
Atma Prema arises from the realisation that beyond our personal circumstances, faults and fallibilities —beyond even our personal history—we are all capable of change and growth.

Member organisations
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.
