About me
I have over 20 years of experience in supporting clients with issues around substance use (drugs, alcohol) as well as compulsive sexual behaviour. I help clients to gain freedom from negative patterns in their lives within a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds, helping to increase awareness of negative and self defeating patterns of behaviour and developing new opportunities for change.
I use an integrative approach, looking at thoughts, feelings, and past experiences as much as looking at the negative consequences of substance use and/or compulsive sexual behaviour.
I've personally experienced therapy as a means of growth and self-discovery. I believe it can be a life changing process that can lead to self worth, healthy relationships and a sense of fulfilment.

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.
