About me
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor. My approach is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. People seek therapy for various reasons. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. I can support you with the struggles life brings, whether that’s anxiety, low mood, loss, stress at work or relationship issues. Counselling provides a safe space to unpack both recent and past difficult experiences, as well as longstanding ways of relating that may be shaping your life. Through thoughtful exploration, I can help you make sense of your story.
My background in medicine has given me an understanding of how illness can affect emotional wellbeing. I work with people living with the impact of serious illness, as well as those supporting a loved one through a difficult healthcare journey. I also help healthcare professionals facing burnout, workplace pressures, or relationship challenges
I work with adults, both individuals and couples, and offer weekly sessions either in person or online. Sessions can be open-ended or time-limited, depending on your needs. Whatever brings you to counselling, my aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and can explore the possibility of change and growth.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist in advanced training at Metanoia Institute, and a registered member of the BACP. I work using Transactional Analysis to support personal growth and change.
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.
