About me
My inspiration for this career stems from a desire to connect and communicate with people. This inclination has been a thread throughout my life. Having undertaken Counselling myself I have directly experienced the cathartic and powerful change it brings about.
I work with both individuals and couples/relationships.
Developing a trusting relationship and being aware of what happens between us is core to effective therapy. I work to understand the situation that you need support with and look at how this is impacting your life. We work together to help identify patterns and themes of your view of the world and yourself in it to help you recognise your strengths and talents.
Counselling improves your self-awareness and insight and in doing so this will help you to feel differently about yourself and life. Giving you the space to make decisions differently about the way you respond to life challenges and changes and improve communication with those close to you.
I draw upon a variety of skills and approaches depending on the needs of the client. Using Somatic and mind/body approaches, Psychodynamic framework, IFS parts work, Attachment therapy, Mindfulness, self-compassion and Brainspotting therapy.

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.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Depending on the needs of each individual and couple/relationship, I offer both short term and long term work with clients, and see clients on a weekly basis. Short term work usually means weekly sessions, and is usually for a limited period of time. Long term work is open ended - meaning that no end date is set. Frequency of sessions is totally dependant on the individual and their presenting problems, and is often negotiated as the work progresses. Recognition of the client's needs is an ongoing process because everyone is different and therefore they will have different needs.
