About me
I'm a qualified Psychotherapist with specialist knowledge and experience in addiction and mental health. I will provide a safe space for you to go on a non-judgemental journey of self-exploration so that you will grow and make changes for the better. The first therapy session is a good time to see if I can help you and if you would like to work with me. This is also a chance to begin building on a trusting therapeutic relationship which is an important part of the therapy process.
How do I work to help you?
Some of the work I do involves person centre therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy which involves exploring negative thought patterns or self talk that may inhibit you from moving on in your recovery.
It’s not just a conversation. During the therapy It is hoped you will discover new ways of thinking and new ways of knowing oneself.
I like to see clients for at least 5 sessions with a review at the 5th session to assess the therapy process and to see if therapy is helping.
Why do people come for therapy?
People come to therapy for all sorts of reasons and I think the benefits of coming to therapy can help you overcome some of the difficulties you may experience in life.
I have diverse knowledge and experience of working in mental health, government programmes and working in the private sector in residential treatment centres and detoxification clinics as a Psychotherapist.
I think coming to therapy can help you to come out of the silence of suffering alone and find the courage to reach out for help. I want to be there for you when you make that decision. I want to facilitate you in finding purpose away from the misery of addiction. I'm a person-centred therapist who can support you to unlock your full potential and help you overcome other emotions including anger, shame hurt and jealousy.

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.
