About me
Welcome to my profile, where compassionate and holistic mental health care is provided to support you in navigating life's challenges.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, loss, trauma, personal growth, or simply seeking to be heard and understood, I am here to support you on your journey.
Within our therapeutic relationship, I am committed to creating a warm, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can safely explore and address any challenges.
As an integrative psychotherapist, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs and goals. By drawing on various therapeutic modalities, such as psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and humanistic approaches, as well as techniques like visualisations, art, and dreamwork, we can explore the most effective paths for you.
Please feel free to reach out and take the first step towards a transformative journey of self-exploration. I look forward to walking alongside you and assisting you in finding the wellbeing you seek.

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.
