About me
Struggling with change and emotionally running on empty, maybe your self sabotaging or people pleasing? The unknown reasons behind these feelings or behaviours can be destressing and derail our wellbeing, leading to increased stress, anxieties, and depression. What would it be like to feel more balanced within yourself?
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy let me welcome you to a space where you will be supported and encouraged to explore your feelings in safety. As a qualified person centred therapist my approach will be to listen to your experience and be guided by you at all times. Our working relationship is key, and because everyone is unique, we will tailor our work together to encourage positive outcomes.
I am currently offering online or telephone sessions only.
As a registered member of the BACP, I am committed to continued personal development and have completed a number of additional training courses to enhance my practice. This recently has included Forensic Psychology and Mental Health and the Body: Treating Trauma

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.
