About me
My work has brought me to many people with diverse conditions, problems and questions. You may be suffering because something particularly anxiety provoking has happened either recently or a long time ago, you don’t know what you want, in one way or another, or feel stuck and disconnected from who you are.
Whatever the nature of your difficulties, a recent crisis or something more longstanding, I will listen carefully to what you tell me and the particular details of your experience - early disappointments, resentments, and fantasises that can’t be realised, repetitive behaviour, haunting memories, heartbreaks and losses, failed attempts to change, persistent mistakes and mis-steps.
Together we will explore your thoughts and feelings so that you can find a new awareness of yourself and your suffering in order to both feel and act differently in very tangible ways. Slowly there will be a movement from living a life you do not want, to embodying one that you do.
Psychotherapy encourages exploration of behavioural patterns, thoughts, family dynamics, relationships, memories, fantasies, dreams, and significant life events, with the aim of uncovering insights into how a person has arrived where they are. The solution to your struggles will not be found until you have grasped something new about their complex cause and meaning.
This approach offers a space to engage with complex and often conflictual emotions and thoughts which you may never have spoken out loud. You may find that elements of your family history resurface which you haven’t thought about for quite some time. Rather than offering you advice, psychotherapy provides an opportunity to understand the causes of one's distress and to discover your own solutions.
The first step will be to arrange an initial meeting with me to discuss working together so that we can both get a sense of whether ongoing sessions will be useful to you. Please do get in touch and I will provide a space for you to talk confidentially about what brings you to therapy.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
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.
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.
