About me
Difficult emotions don't go away just because they are not acknowledged, often they get pushed down as we try to carry on as normal, until one day we realise we are not living life in the way we want to.
An effective therapeutic approach can look different for each individual client but my primary aim is to create a secure, genuinely supportive, space for you to process your thoughts, experiences and feelings.
I Initially I trained in a model that integrated Person Centred Therapy, and Psychodynamic Theory.
Over the years I have added further modalities and tools, including many trainings focused on working with trauma.
I have more recently added Parts Work, an Experiential approach and Interpersonal Neurobiology into my way of working.
Working in this way can add something different from the conversational approaches, and can access deeper subconscious information.
I am also very interested in creative ways of working, which accesses the parts of the mind that words can’t, it can also be especially helpful for those that find it difficult to verbalise their experiences.
Clients who have not felt that they have benefited from standard talk therapy usually sfind this approach more helpful.
I work in a very relational way, I am not a therapist that is a blank screen. I believe a genuine connection is needed, and that we can heal through relationship.
I have had the privilege of working extensively with people who have been impacted by trauma, including sexual violence, abusive relationships and childhood emotional neglect . This can present in many ways, I have experience of working with the symptoms of anxiety, depression, ptsd and cptsd and relational issues.

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.
