About me

I am a qualified Integrative-Relational Counsellor and Psychotherapist, and a registered member of the BACP. I offer short and long-term work, which takes place in-person or online via zoom. I work with adults from the age of 18. 

I understand that seeing a therapist can be daunting, so I aim to offer a friendly, safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships with honesty in a non-judgemental and empathetic space. Working in an Integrative-Relational way simply means that I use many theories and techniques within my practice, giving a pluralistic experience that is suited to each client as an individual. I will use the relationship between us to further explore the psyche, and this way of working helps promote a collaborative experience in which the client is in control of their counselling journey. 

I have experience working with a wide range of problems and concerns, having worked for the NHS and the Charity sector to offer services to a variety of people in the community. I currently work from my garden room based in Fetcham, Surrey Monday - Wednesday. I am in Surbiton on a Friday.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
