About me
I work with adults and young people and have a full background check (Enhanced DBS).
I have experience assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, stress management, grief and challenging negative thoughts. However, in our sessions, you're in charge of what we discuss.
Your sessions are personalised to you, creating a non-judgmental and empathetic space where you can freely talk about anything. I also use creative methods like drawing, clay, and music to allow you to explore past and present experiences.
Together, we'll delve into the things that have affected you, helping you set your own goals and build self-awareness, self-acceptance and self-trust.
My main approach is Person-Centered, which means I'm accepting, empathetic, and supportive. I also have an integrative style, allowing me to incorporate techniques like Mindfulness, Brainspotting, Creative Therapy and Solution-Based Therapy to suit your needs.
If you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or stress, I can incorporate mindfulness. With Solution-Based Therapy, we can work on identifying and developing solutions to the things concerning you.
And if you've experienced emotional trauma that's hard to talk about, we can use Brainspotting. This is a potent treatment that helps individuals recognize, process, and release emotional trauma.

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.
