About me
I offer Transpersonal and Integrative Psychotherapy and counselling using a range of therapeutic techniques. I tend to be client led and like to keep my sessions very relaxed with a strong focus on building trust in the relationship. The following list will give you some idea of the range of techniques I use therapeutically although I do not use all of these with each client: Psychotherapy, counselling, short-term solution focused therapy, CBT, creative imagination techniques, meditation and mindfulness techniques, art, music, reiki, body awareness techniques, psycho-spiritual counselling and dream analysis.
My specialisms are complex and enduring mental health difficulties, parenting children with special needs, crisis of faith and spiritual awakening, spiritual emergency, surviving and recovering from narcissistic relationships.
I am experienced in working with... anxiety, panic disorders, OCD and related disorders, depression, loss and bereavement, trauma and complex trauma, palliative therapy, matters of faith and spiritual beliefs, identity, self-worth, domestic abuse, addiction, relationship difficulties and difficult family dynamics.
Over the last couple of years, I have developed a growing client base from the LBGTQ+ community, the fetish community and the sex worker community. Whilst I am not a 'sex therapist as such, I am familiar with the wider issues which arise from belonging to these communities and how this might impact people.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as an Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist in 2018. Prior to that I trained in Mental Health Nursing, Clinical Psychology and counselling.
My vocational background has predominantly been within the NHS, working in both Mental Health and Learning Disability Services. For several years I worked with children in specialist school settings.
I currently run a private practice from my home. Alongside this, I have co-founded a healing centre which provides holistic care using a combination of psychotherapy, reiki and nutritional advice.
I completed the Diploma in Psychotherapy at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education as part of an in-depth 4 year training programme.
Please note that I do not work directly with clients diagnosed with any cluster B personality disorders.
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.

Additional information
All sessions are a standard 50 mins in length and may be conducted online or face to face. The fee for standard psychotherapy is £70 a session.
Trauma therapy operates slightly differently due to the complex nature of working with trauma. Trauma therapy will be charged at £80 a session and there will be a requirement to contract for an initial commitment of 10 sessions. A deposit of 50% is payable upfront to secure the place, the remainder being divided per session and paid directly before or after the session.
Consultations are charged at £30 and usually last around 30 mins. If you are specifically seeking trauma therapy please let me know in advance as this may require a longer consultation. There will be no extra charge for longer consultations.
I offer a limited number of evening sessions on a Monday and Tuesday with occasional ad hoc sessions on other week day evenings.
I concessionary spaces on a case by case basis. The waiting list for concessionary places currently stands at approximately 1 year.
