About me
Counsellor/Psychotherapist MBACP Registered
I work with individuals and couples who present with: Narcissistic Personality, Borderline Personality, Shame, Trauma, PTSD, Anxiety, Infidelity, Intimacy & Relationship Issues, Separation/Divorce, Addiction, Depression, Stress, Loss, Anger, Sexuality, Identity Issues, Social Anxiety, Attachment Styles, Low Self-Esteem, Age, Panic Attacks, Phobias and OCD.
I help clients identify and challenge self-limiting beliefs, develop coping strategies, and foster a more positive self-image.
Therapy enables us to have a deeper understanding of our unconscious motivations. Therapy enables us to reflect on emotions before we react and helps us become more aware of our repetitive behaviours and relationship patterns.
Therapy can help you regain your self-assurance, enhance your self-esteem, and reclaim your ability to thrive and achieve your goals.
My biggest reward is being able to see my clients transition through their difficulties by working collaboratively in achieving their goals in a caring, safe, and non-judgemental space.
I offer 30 minutes free consultation.
CBT- Cognitive behavioural therapy - can help you make sense of overwhelming problems by breaking them down. In CBT, problems are broken down into 5 main areas: situations ; thoughts ; emotions ; physical feelings ; actions ; CBT is based on the concept of these 5 areas being interconnected and affecting each other.
Psychodynamic- The Psychodynamic approach includes all the theories in psychology that see human functioning based upon the interaction of drives and forces within the person, particularly unconscious. The Psychodynamic approach is one of the older forms of talk therapy, moving things a step forward from Freud and psychoanalysis. It shares with psychoanalysis a belief that in order to understand the ways we think and act in the present, we need to explore both our unconscious and our past experiences and relationships.

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.
