About me

I currently offer online, open-ended therapy, which means that you can access my services for as long as you need. I can work with a range of difficulties and I have a particular interest in anxiety, depression, family and relationship difficulties, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+, masculinity and gender related concerns. I am trained in a range of approaches, specialising in existential therapy. 

I offer you a confidential space founded on a relationship of trust, curiosity and openness. A space led by you and all about you. I strive to be compassionate, humble, curious and open minded to foster this trust so that we can deeply explore your reality. I offer a free 15 minute consultation session for us to converse and see if we’re a good fit. This may involve discussing your reason for coming to therapy and what your expectations for therapy are.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have worked in mental health for 4 years, with experience working with individuals from a variety of cultures, communities and sexualities, with concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, bereavement, childhood trauma, estrangement and disability.

I have an academic background in existential philosophy and trained at Regent's University earning the equivalent of a PGDip in Psychotherapy and Counselling. I trained in existential, psychodynamic and integrative therapies, which means I can adapt a range of approaches to your individual needs.  I am a registered member of the BACP under the registration number 419471. 

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
