About me
My style is warm, inquisitive, compassionate and directional. I have a diverse client base, and have knowledge and expertise about loss, trauma, ADHD and anxiety. Together we explore what brings you to therapy, and through development of greater self compassion and courage, we work together to make the changes you wish to see in your life, whether that be better anxiety/stress management, processing a painful loss, improving your relationship with self and/or others or dealing with a past trauma or current ADHD symptoms. I take a holistic view to mental health, and am passionate about the importance of sleep, diet and exercise. I work with many client groups including older teens, parents, and people experiencing change and loss and those which anxiety and self esteem issues. Prior to becoming a therapist, I held various senior roles in large successful businesses, so I know and understand the pressures of working in the corporate world.
I draw from different tools and theories, including those from CBT, Compassion Focused Therapy, Relational Therapy and Transactional Analysis. I am also qualified in the Rewind Technique for trauma, have additional training in ADHD. I work short- long term, as well as offering Single Session Therapy.
I am energised by nature, healthy living and connection with others. As well as being a therapist I am a mother, a wife, a sister and a friend.

Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (Distinction). This is accredited by the BACP. I have undergone subsequent training in Compassion Focused Therapy, Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy, and am trained in the Rewind Technique for working with Trauma. This technique has been shown to be highly effective in helping people move on from traumatic incidents. I am an Anxiety UK Approved Therapist. I hold an additional qualification in working with Children and Young People.
I also offer Single Session Therapy which is designed to be a one off therapeutic session, to harness the power of the client to help themselves in this current moment.
I am passionate about lifelong learning and development and am continuously enhancing my knowledge and skills through formal and informal CPD.
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.

Further information
Please contact me via phone, email or instagram. We can then arrange the first consultation. The purpose of this is to understand what you would like to gain from therapy and to establish whether we are a good fit for one another. From there you can decide whether you wish to have more sessions with me.
For Single Session Therapy, I will send you a small amount of pre-work to do prior to the session.
