About me
I would like you to know that your life matters to me.
I also appreciate that you would like to change your life for the better so let me tell you a little bit more about me and my practice.
I am a Psychotherapist and a Behaviour Change Expert who specialises in Addiction and Relationships where for over 20 years now, I have worked with individuals of all ages, couples, families and groups to help them create some space to appreciate, understand and realise their truth, their vision for the future and the innate capacity they have to be well.
I hold a Masters in Addiction Psychology and Counselling, a Level 4 Certificate in Counselling Children, an Advanced Diploma in Couple and Relationship Therapy and a Post Graduate Diploma in Trauma.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), an Advanced Practitioner and an Accredited Member of the Addiction Professionals (FDAP), a Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), a Certified Motivational Interviewing Practitioner and a Level 2 iheart Facilitator.
I have extensive experience of working in schools and both the public and private rehabilitation sectors such as the Priory and the NHS and also, within the SEND community too.
I am extremely passionate about child welfare as I firmly believe that if we don't have broken children, we are much less likely to have broken adults. As a result, I strive to implement, research and develop early intervention strategies for young people where my research includes the first publication of its kind to focus on metacognitions and parenting styles as predictors of cannabis use and more recently, a piece on exercise addiction in collaboration with Hertfordshire University
I also host mental health workshops for MIND, speak publicly and am currently supporting the East London NHS Foundation Trust and BEAT develop PSHE lessons for schools around healthy eating.
My approach to therapy is simple, it is intuitive, solution-focused and curious. I focus on a persons beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviours from the first session while embracing the need for faith, hope and tolerance.
In concluding work with me, clients report to feeling inspired, empowered and ready which lead to them being more resilient and having a better sense of who they are.

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.
