About me
My passion is to facilitate people on a journey towards emotional wellbeing and personal growth. Life throws many challenges at us and sometimes having a safe place to talk process and understand yourself can be transformational in overcoming these.
I love working as an integrative counsellor as it allows me to adapt my approach depending on what an individual needs from therapy. With over 7 years experience working as a counsellor for adults and teenagers, I have continued training in areas I felt are most beneficial for people. These include using CBT and mindfulness alongside person centred and psychoanalytical therapy so that not only can you talk, reflect and understand yourself more, but also learn techniques to change things that need addressing.

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.
