About me
My work is about creating a confidential, safe and a nurturing space for individuals and couples to explore their experiences and improve their lives and relationships.
I am a fully qualified, registered and accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist and a member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches - Psychodynamic, Integrative, Person-Centred, EMDR. Although modalities and interventions are important, I will always put our relationship at the heart of the therapeutic work.
My aim as a psychotherapist is aiding you to become a fully functioning person who has more control over what they do and is not driven by unresolved unconscious past events. I will be asking you questions about your past experience and early years. I do that so I can understand your current behaviour in relation to your past and therefore can help you make the links.
I have personally experienced the feeling of displacement and loss, and I can ‘hear’ it in my clients. As a therapist I understand the feeling of being misplaced and scared, I empathise with my clients when they describe the fear of uncertainty, and I am able to support them when the strength and hope is needed. Throughout my training, I made some personal discoveries that have an impact on how I work with my clients. I feel privileged and grateful that people come to me and feel comfortable to share their feelings and struggles.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
