About me
I am a traditional psychotherapist working with diverse individuals, couples, and groups, across a wide range of diagnoses and issues for almost 30 years. I offer short/mid/long-term psychotherapy and EMDR. Most of my clients are experiencing, or have experienced, traumatic early life, or later life, events that they struggle to come to terms with; and which may negatively impact on their relationship with themselves and/or others. I offer, a relational environment, that is co-created, where these issues can be processed, and support to improve emotional, cognitive, and behavioural skills to help my clients better manage their lives.
I am author of ‘Anger, Rage and Relationship: An Empathic Approach to Anger Management’ (2008, Routledge), have been an HE lecturer on university counselling programmes and continue to teach other counsellors and psychotherapists, nationally and internationally about working with anger, rage and shame issues.
I offer a warm, respectful, non-judgemental and confidential relationship with a carefully contracted focus; I am a qualified professional who is insured, supervised and working within two ethical frameworks (UKCP and BACP). In addition to my MSc, I am a Certified Transactional Analyst (psychotherapy), have an Adv Dip in Counselling, a BSc (hons) and a PGCE.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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 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.
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).
