About me
I offer online therapy and supervision
Whether you are feeling stuck, experiencing deep distress or have the sense that you could be getting more from life, therapy can provide the space you need.
I am an established Integrative Arts Psychotherapist with many years of clinical experience. I have worked with clients privately, within the NHS and for a number of charitable organisations.
My aim is to help you make changes in your way of being, in relation to yourself, others and your wider world. I offer a safe, welcoming, reflective space where you can feel at ease to explore all aspects of your life. A place where you can be heard and understood without judgement. An opportunity to pause, take a breath and try to make sense of how it is you got here. A chance to explore possibilities for the future, grow your inner resources and make sustainable and tangible positive change.
My Approach
My approach to psychotherapy is integrative and draws on the principles of creativity. I use both psychodynamic and humanistic theories to support my thinking, these include Gestalt therapy, Transactional Analysis, attachment theory and neuroscience.
Alongside this breadth of theoretical grounding, I believe that creativity is a catalyst for self-discovery, healing and change. I have a range of art materials that can be used when words are too much or not enough. No previous art experience is required.
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, depending on individual needs.

Member organisations
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 HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
