About me
As your therapist I will provide a safe space in which you can explore any emotional, social or mental health issues. In therapy sessions with me you can express your feelings and gain deeper insight into yourself and your relationships with others. Our sessions are confidential, so you can talk about things you might not feel comfortable discussing with anyone else. The goal is to help you find better ways to cope and to bring about changes in the way you think and behave that will improve your mental and emotional well-being.
Therapy can be short or long term. The number of sessions will depend on the depth and complexity of the issues you want to resolve. It is unusual for therapy to last for less than six sessions, and some types of therapy may last for two years or more.
As an integrative therapist I use a range of approaches and methods and tailor the approach to each individual client. I work on the basis that that there is no 'one size fits all' approach.There is an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client.
Therapy can benefit anyone facing issues such as:
-
anxiety
-
feelings of depression, sadness, grief or emptiness
-
inability to cope
-
problems dealing with stress or recovering from stressful situations
-
lack of confidence/self-esteem or extreme shyness
-
coping with the effects of abuse
-
extreme mood swings
-
difficulty making or sustaining relationships, or repeatedly becoming involved in unsatisfying or destructive relationships
-
sexual problems
-
difficulties coming to terms with losses such as bereavement, divorce or loss of employment
-
eating disorders
-
self-harm
-
obsessive behaviour
-
panic attacks and phobia
-
addiction
Therapy can also help you to develop new perspectives and discover alternative options if you are stuck or at a crossroads in your life.

Member organisations
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.
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).
