About me
Sometimes, life gets hard. You’re doing your best, but it still feels like a struggle. Meeting with a qualified therapist can provide insight and support, and help you find your way forwards.
Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental space for you to confidentially explore whatever you wish to.
I work in a relational, integrative way. This means that the therapeutic relationship between my clients and myself is at the heart of my work, and that I integrate a range of different therapeutic theories to suit both who I am as a person, and who you are as my client. Although giving a name to what you are experiencing is sometimes helpful, I aim to treat you as the multi-faceted, fascinating human being that you are rather than as a single diagnosis. My goal is to help you find the way forward that works best for you.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and the Metanoia Institute, and I work to their ethical codes.
I work with adults aged 18 and over.
Working with the right person is key. If you are interested in working with me, please check out my website for more information. I offer a free, no-obligation phone call to see if we are right for one another.

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.

Additional information
Therapy should be affordable, so I offer a sliding scale depending on client income.
I also offer TWO low-cost places per year, at £30 per session, for those on very low incomes such as students and people in receipt of benefits. These are available on a first-come-first-served basis and for a maximum of one year per person.
