About me
Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
As a therapist, I am dedicated to helping people break free from unhelpful patterns of thought, feelings and behaviour, and to develop the skills and confidence to build a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.
I work with a wide rage of difficulties, including anxiety disorders, depression, relationship issues, stress and burnout, and trauma.
I have a particular specialist interest in OCD and extensive experience treating it using evidence based approaches, including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I aim to create a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic alliance, where real change can be developed and maintained.
I also have ten years experience working in residential addiction treatment services, and I am always open to supporting people in their recovery journey.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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 National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
