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. It can be painful to live with because of the way it makes you feel about yourself. Following my own ADHD diagnosis, I undertook additional training to support 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 both therapeutic support and practical insight to help you understand yourself better. I care about creating a space that can accommodate your needs.

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.
