About me
Distress in life can bring about: confusion, pain, self-blame, anger, self-blame, isolation, loneliness, negative coping mechanism and many other symptoms. It is important to know that anyone of us can experience mental distress and there are several reasons why this may happen, including: trauma, difficult life events, early life experiences and biological basis. My job is to people make sense of their concerns, and find balance during these difficult times so that they can get to their optimum level of functioning again.
The way I approach therapy aims to increase understanding of difficulties that one maybe experiencing on a daily basis. This is with the underlying aim of facilitating observation of blind spots, and increasing awareness of root causes in order to enable lasting change.
No matter how difficult your problem may feel, there is no harm in giving talking about it a try. The worst that can happen is you gain insight into your situation, which in its right may start to alleviate your concerns.

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.
