About me
How do you choose a therapist? Well, they say that we make up our minds in a 10th of a second; by just seeing somebody's face we decide if we trust, feel safe, are comfortable with this person. The next step is begin to explore some of the background of a person and in this case it's me.
I started my working career in the NHS as a registered nurse where I got to appreciate not just the physical but some of the emotional and mental health issues of patients. This sparked my interest in the human psyche and I have now been working as a therapist for the last 27yrs with a wide variety of issues.
I have learned the value of individual difference; of courage, trust, integrity and the ability for all of us to find our own path. I have learned that I don't have all the answers although I do have the skills to help you discover yours. I also know that I can sit with you and be with you in your felt sense of anxiety, fear, depression, anger or chaos. I strongly believe that you can be empowered to find your own answers given a non-judging, confidential, safe space that you can feel at ease in.
How do I do all of this? I trained as an Integrative Therapist which means that the approach combines different elements of specific therapies (cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution focused, trauma informed approaches, addictions etc) to help support you. This fits with my sense of finding the right approach that best suits your needs. I am also a mindfulness practitioner and can work with you from this perspective.
My passion is in the evolving research of neuro-psychotherapy or brain based therapy. This approach is based in cutting edge brain science - how the brain works, the connection with mind and body, our social interactions and our environment and how we experience all of this - emotionally and behaviourally. Maybe that sounds a lot but basically it just means that it helps me to see the whole of you rather than just one part of you.
Together you and I can work towards discovering ways that help you to arrive at where you want to be.

Registered Member British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists
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.
