About me
I am a Therapeutic Counsellor who works primarily from a (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural approach, while also offering an eclectic blend of Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Person Centred Counselling, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness Therapies, Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) and Neuro Linguistic Programming.
As well as general therapy I have gained experience working with Relationship Counselling, Domestic Abuse and Episodic Psychotic based issues. I frequently work with: Trauma, Anxiety Issues (General Anxiety Disorders, Panic Disorder, PTSD, OCD, Phobias), Affective Issues (Depression, Bipolar), Personality Disorders, Guilt/Shame, Sexuality/Sexual Identity/LGBTQIA+, Self-Esteem and Confidence problems. I also have experience working with the specific needs of Armed Forces and Emergency Services.
In my practice I will offer you a confidential space to work through your difficulties at a deeper level. I work from a basis that our difficulties arise from the pressures and conditions that life exerts upon us rather than any genetic defects. As such I firmly believe it is possible to recover from any emotional or mental health issue/problem.
Whether you just want to feel better or want to work through deep seated issues, I can offer a warm, caring, non-judgemental, secure and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can explore issues and problems to find resolution.
My Background
Following a rewarding career as a Quantity Surveyor, I became passionate about supporting people and began my training to work in the mental health sector in 2010. I went on to gain qualifications in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Couples and Family Systemic Therapy, Counselling, Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). To date I enjoy continued study and development of my knowledge in these areas.
In my experience of working with survivors and perpetrators of domestic abuse and trauma, I have realised the most effective way of supporting mental health problems is through prevention and early intervention. However, when an issue is more established, I firmly believe that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers the best and most wide ranging interventions.

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.
