About me
How therapy can help
Therapy can assist in a variety of ways, from being a place to express feelings and thoughts in a judgment-free confidential space, to exploring deeply traumatic experiences with professional support.
You may want to deal with specific issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, sexual or physical abuse, relationship issues, sexuality, ageing, culture or gender.
More generally therapy can be a form of personal development, an opportunity to increase your self-awareness, become more emotionally robust, learn more about your life story and develop your understanding of how you came to be you.
Whatever brings you to therapy, I will provide a supportive, confidential and professional space in which you can explore, discover and grow.
My background
Before qualifying as a therapist, I trained as a barrister and spent fifteen years as a court advocate. I am familiar with the physical and emotional consequences of working in stressful environments, managing extreme emotions and complex relationships.
What happens in the first session?
In your first session, we will likely explore what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. If you decide to continue, we can work together to design a bespoke therapeutic environment, incorporating how you want to explore the issues you are bringing, at what pace, depth and for how long.
How to get started

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
