About me
I am an integrative therapist, which means i use a wide range of therapeutic Modalities to suit Individual Need and Preference.
Fundamentally i am person centred and relational with an interest in working with the “whole” person in a psychodynamic/analytical way, but i am also versatile and invite creativity into my practice to promote an ethos of modernity and progression.
With this in mind, i am Neuro-Diivergent aware, and my experience and training is abundant in creating a Neurodiverse Affirmitive Practice
I have training in DBT, the 12 step model, CBT and Other Compasion Focused Approaches, which provide a foundation for consistant, ongoing care & support, and reliable tools, and strategies that help actualise, lasting positive change, and aleviate or manage distressing symptoms, and/or thinking and behaviours
I Specialise in Addictions, and have spent years working in the field prior to private practise, and can help treat any addiction, or compulsive behaviour that has become problematIc
I work extensively with individuals diagnosed with Personality Disorders (otherwise known as BPD/EUPD/NPD Etc) and use DBT to help individuals develop better self esteem, cease self- destructive behaviours, and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships
I also have experience of enjoy working with;
Adverse Childhood Experiences, Trauma, Attachment Disorders, Relationship Issues, Narcissitic Abuse and Eating Disorders
Therapy is a collaborative process, and experiential to a degree; it can be open ended, short term, or timebound depending on individual need
Sessions can also be free flowing, a place to receive support, process lifes difficulties as they arise, or perhaps process unresolved historic, or current inner conflicts that cause pain or manifest negatively in your life
Please feel free to contact me to ask questions about my service, or anything else that i may help you with in your decision to choose the right therapist
I also invite introductory calls for consulatations

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
