About me
Hello and welcome,
I offer a warm, non-judgmental, confidential, safe space to work together. You can learn to identify and explore relational or behavioural patterns that may no longer serve you or where you may feel ‘stuck’.
I work with clients face-to-face from my private practice room in Belper with onsite parking. I also work online or on the phone if that is your preference.
I am a fully qualified therapist and member of United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). I specialise in anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism and trauma related symptoms.

- MSc and Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapy (Metanoia Institute/Middlesex University).
- Diploma level 3 in Client centred counselling.
- B.A (Hons.) Leicester De Montfort University.
- Trauma informed training.
- Training in Autism and ADHD from Derby University.
- Training in Domestic Abuse from Derbyshire County Council (DCC).
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.

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).

Further information
I combine various therapeutic tools to support a client’s needs alongside my core modality of Gestalt Psychotherapy. I utilise Solution Focused techniques and aspects of CBT, Client and psychodynamic approaches.
Having previously worked in industry I am aware of the importance of self-care and boundaries to reduce the stresses and strains of daily life. I can support you in the establishment of stronger personal and professional boundaries towards protecting yourself to reduce the symptoms of burnout.
