About me

I provide a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can openly explore what is going on for you.  My approach focusses on empowering you to develop effective coping strategies to achieve your own personal goals.  

Together, we will work on:

  • Understanding your specific concerns and triggers;
  • Developing practical strategies to manage and reduce symptoms;
  • Building resilience and promoting improved thinking;
  • Setting achievable goals and tracking progress;


What to Expect

In our initial session, we will discuss your current challenges and what you hope to achieve through therapy. I will tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs, ensuring that each session is productive and focused on your recovery. My aim is to equip you with the tools and insights necessary to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life.

I have experience working with a wide variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, panic disorder and phobias.

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.
