About me
My practice is non-discriminatory and inclusive, welcoming and intentional. I can help with a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, life changes and relationships. I provide a safe space without judgment in which you can explore and make sense of what is going on.
ADHD, a lifelong condition affecting all genders, is an area in which I take a keen interest professionally. I have ADHD and my own ‘later-in-life’ diagnosis inspired me, after completing my counselling degree, to study and train further, enabling me to help other adults in a similar situation. Together we can sift through what is bringing you to counselling and clarify where your diagnosed or suspected ADHD may or may not be having an impact. I offer information and education to improve your understanding of ADHD and also a framework to identify your individual ADHD portrait.

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.
