About me

As a psychotherapist, my primary focus is to provide support and guidance to individuals struggling with various mental health challenges such as depression, stress, family issues, and trauma. I offer a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

In working with clients dealing with depression, I help them identify negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and work towards building resilience. For those experiencing high levels of stress, I teach relaxation techniques, mindfulness practices, and stress management skills to promote overall well-being.

When it comes to family issues, I facilitate open communication, conflict resolution, and boundary setting to improve relationships and foster healthier dynamics within the family unit. For individuals who have experienced trauma, I utilize evidence-based therapies such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy to help them process their experiences, reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress, and regain a sense of safety and control in their lives.

Overall, my goal as a psychotherapist is to empower my clients to overcome their challenges, cultivate self-awareness and self-compassion, and ultimately lead more fulfilling and satisfying lives.

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.
