About me
I am a qualified integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, with a Masters Degree (level 7), with my integrative practice drawing from the person-centred approach, psychodynamic therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT). This enables me to work with individuals as they journey towards discovering a sense of wholeness. Our time together may span between short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy sessions following discussions on your reasons for seeking therapy.
Nobody knows you better than you, so you decide what issues we delve into together, and I will provide a safe, confidential space and appropriately adapt my approach to therapy, which includes:
Integrative - My qualifications and counselling experience enable me to effectively integrate my work by applying a Person-Centred Approach with Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I offer an approach that is best suited to meet your needs, as I believe that we are all unique as are our needs.
Relational - I work with the belief that a genuine, human connection is what holds the ability to heal, a partnership where the client and the therapist work together to achieve the goals and effect positive change.
Holistic - In addition to the parts that may feel broken or fragmented, I focus on the whole person, physical, social, emotional and spiritual towards total well-being.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental, warm and confidential space that enables us to create trust and gain the agency that helps to re-script your lived experience as well as produce a restorative approach for the future. I work collaboratively and flexibly, and depending on your reasons for seeking support, I aim to adapt the different therapeutic approaches to suit you at each stage of our journey together.
I have worked extensively with clients across cultures, age groups, religious backgrounds, and senior citizens with long-standing issues. Please call or send me an email for an introductory chat.
Thank you.

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.
