About me
I offer short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy for a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. Using an integrative approach, I draw from a range of psychological theories depending upon your particular needs and goals. For instance, we might work together to understand how your early life experiences and important relationships have affected you and might be contributing to your current difficulties. Alternatively, you might be suffering from anxiety, low mood or stress and want to find a way out of this. Perhaps you just want an opportunity to speak and be heard.
I offer a confidential space to talk through what is going on for you. Together, we will build a relationship of trust and safety in which you can develop insight into the meanings behind your difficulties, develop alternative perspectives on your situation and feel more in control of your life.
It can take time to find a therapist you feel comfortable working with. I would invite you to come to an initial face-to-face consultation to discuss what is troubling you and to see if we could work together. We will then decide together on a focus for the work, with opportunities to review this along the way. You can email or call me with any queries.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an integrative psychotherapist with a particular interest in motherhood and identity.
Member organisations
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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
