About me
Introduction:
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with an MA in Gestalt Psychotherapy. A gestalt centre graduate, I offer short-term, long-term and open-ended therapy. I am dedicated in supporting others to maximise their capacity for growth and change in their lives.
Background:
I have over 25 years experience working in the NHS. With a professional background in nursing, I worked clinically for over 15 years in a variety of specialities. I have also worked as a mentor, supervisor, manager, and coached staff.
Experience:
I have experience working with clients going through a variety of personal situations such as stress, trauma, loss, family issues, grief, abuse, panic attacks and clients that maybe feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, and struggling with low self-esteem, low self-confidence, depression.
How I work:
Upon receipt of an enquiry, I usually begin with having a brief telephone call to see if a free initial meeting would be supportive. The initial meeting will give us the opportunity to explore, in more detail, what you want from therapy, ask questions and to get to know how I work. I usually meet clients on a weekly basis at the same time each week. It is important to me that I provide a safe, supportive and creative space.

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.

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.
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).
