About me
What is going on for you? Where are you “stuck”?
Maybe you are looking for somewhere to go to talk things through. Maybe you’re wondering why you can’t get past something that keeps coming up. Or make sense of a situation. You may be feeling restless, sad, frustrated or anxious. Working together, we will explore your unique life experiences to help you understand more about your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and relationships.
I firmly believe you are capable of great change. My role is to facilitate you through the process of getting “unstuck” so that you can move forward. This may be uncomfortable at times; there will be challenges along the way. I will support you through your exploration, giving you opportunities to consider new perspectives and learn new coping mechanisms. We may discover issues from the past that influence how you navigate life today; exploring these can help give meaning to past experiences and enable you to approach future opportunities with a different mindset.
I consider myself an active participant in your therapy and will encourage you to do the same. I am trained as an integrative therapist; this means I can draw on a range of humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive theories that can be tailored to your individual needs, creating a bespoke therapeutic experience.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified and fully insured therapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This means I adhere to an ethical framework which guides my practice and provides you with the reassurance that there are professional standards you can expect.
I hold the following qualifications:
- Foundation Degree (FdA) in Integrative Counselling
- Stage 1 Diploma in counselling children and young people (11-18)
- Level 2 Certificate in Mental Health Awareness
As with my therapeutic approach, I am hugely invested in how to be the best therapist I can be for you. Therefore I undertake regular professional development to enhance my practice. I have completed additional training in the following:
- The Art of Psychodynamic Therapy
- Neurodivergence awareness
- Introduction to issues arising from Domestic Abuse
- Working with Trauma
- Positive Psychology
- Working with the Male Psyche
- Head, heart and gut thinking
- Suicide awareness
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.
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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also have specialist experience working with small business owners looking to explore issues preventing them from achieving personal and professional growth. This requires a unique blend of counselling and consultancy skills to identify where your barriers to change are and how they can be overcome to enable your Self and your business to flourish. I hold certificates in PRINCE2 and APMQ.
