About me

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years experiencing of working in the mental health field. I can work with you to help you find the best path through your difficulties. I am dedicated to helping people understand themselves and their emotions. I will offer you a calm, safe confidential environment in which to explore the issues that are affecting you.

I originally trained as a medical doctor and worked as a psychiatrist specialising in addictions. I left this role 13 years ago to look after my young children. I have since retrained as person centred psychotherapist. I am also trained as a hypnotherapist.
I have worked with children and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, fears and phobias, loss and bereavement.
My approach is mainly person centred but I have experience of using CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing and solution focused therapy.
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.
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.
