About me
I am a fully-qualified psychotherapist and addiction psychologist with over 10 years' experience of working with clients worldwide. Prior to this, I was a successful commercial artist and illustrator for 15 years, working in the advertising, fashion and music industry, before I myself began my recovery journey.
Although since then I have worked primarily in the private addiction and eating disorder sector, including as the lead therapist at one of Europe’s foremost private residential treatment centres, I am now also able to offer help to those seeking support through my private practice.
I work both intuitively and with an integrated approach, using a variety of different therapeutic models to suit the individual’s needs.
I offer a range of therapeutic services and work primarily with addiction, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, co-dependancy and relationship issues.

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.
