About me

I provide person-centred integrative, relational therapy personalised to meet your unique needs. My approach blends techniques from humanistic, psychodynamic, and behavioural therapies, allowing me to tailor treatment for optimal effectiveness.

Through my own personal and professional challenges, I have developed a deep understanding of the transformative power of therapy. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to confront life's adversities, build self-awareness and self-compassion, and adapt to evolving circumstances.

My journey includes caring for a parent with dementia while navigating burnout from corporate HR work. These experiences motivated me to complete my postgraduate diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy. My standard rate is £55 per session & have some slots at £45 and £25.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of personal or professional challenges. My integrative approach is well-suited for those seeking tailored support drawing from multiple therapeutic modalities.With empathy cultivated through my own experience, I aim to provide a supportive environment for growth, healing and positive change. I look forward to exploring how we can work together.

Member organisations

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.

Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Premises at The Divergent Space in Skipton are accessible for mobility issues.
