About me

I am a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples dealing with all kinds of mental health challenges since 2019. 

I follow an integrative approach towards psychotherapy that draws on principles from a range of psychotherapeutic approaches rooted in psychodynamic and humanistic traditions. I am interested in the psyche as a bodymind process and view the therapeutic relationship as a container for exploring this process between the therapist and client. The intention is to work towards creating a space of healing and transformation.

With couples, I mostly practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) which has proven to be greatly effective with many couples, who having moved from relationship distress to a more healthy and loving relationship. I suggest an initial arrangement of 6 sessions, at which point we will assess how you are doing, and what our next steps will be.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Accredited  Integrative Psychotherapist as well as an ICEFT Certified EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) & EMDR Certified Practitioner working since 2017 in this field. I am also a Clinical supervisor and regularly supervise therapists. 

Member organisations

school 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.

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.
