About me

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected can be challenging. If you're battling negative thoughts, struggling to finish tasks, or feeling like the world is against you, I'm here to help. I provide therapy in English and French, focusing on multicultural issues, ADHD, Autism, anxiety, and depression.
 
Are you looking to build confidence, change your outlook, or find happiness? Do you feel alone or unable to form relationships quickly? My therapy sessions are designed to offer you support and practical strategies to tackle these feelings.

Training, qualifications & experience

My educational journey in mental health commenced with a Level 5 Foundation Degree in Psychology in 1996, complemented by a Degree in Organisation and Management in 1997. I deepened my commitment to holistic healing by becoming a Reiki Master in April 2018. In 2023, I broadened my therapeutic expertise with a Level 5 certification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), encompassing specialisations in Trauma-Focused CBT, OCD, and Compassion-Focused Therapy, alongside a Level 2 certificate in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for Borderline Personality Disorder. In 2024, I further enhanced my qualifications with a Level 5 Foundation Degree in Counselling.

My professional experience includes working with students and adults facing a wide range of mental health challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, self-esteem issues, cancer, stress disorders, OCD, addiction, child trauma, relationship abuse, PTSD, BPD, and more. This extensive practice underscores my dedication to providing personalised, evidence-based support, tailored uniquely to each client's path towards healing and resilience.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society

This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.

In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
