About me
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), as well as an accredited Solution Focused Therapist with APT (The Association for Psychological Therapies). My practice encompasses an integrative approach, embodying theoretical interventions from humanistic, psychodynamic, and behavioural models, which allows me to tailor my approach to best fit the client's needs.
My belief is that by providing a safe, accepting, and compassionate environment for my clients, they can explore their deepest personal experiences, and confront their challenging thoughts, emotions, and behaviours with courage and support.
As a therapist, my approach can appear quite challenging and uncomfortable, as I believe confronting internal conflict through vulnerability leads to courage and autonomy, however, my clients wellbeing is always at the forefront of my practice, and promoting a safe environment is paramount to my approach.

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.
