I am an integrative therapist and an Accredited Member of the British Association of Counselling and
Psychotherapy (BACP). I work within a person-centred approach, which means building a
collaborative therapeutic relationship which is genuine and respectful. I provide a safe, caring and
confidential space, working therapeutically on a wide range of experiences and issues, past or
present.

My aim to is to help you gain a greater understanding of what you are experiencing; help you access
your inner resources and gain a greater sense of your true potential. I listen with empathy and
acceptance and, depending on your needs, use a variety of therapeutic techniques and strategies.
Emotional regulation techniques are a core part of my approach. The clarity and calmness which
comes when we regulate effectively enables us to respond rather than react to what we are
experiencing. It also increases awareness of our own needs and the confidence to communicate and
act on them.

My Experience
As well as private practice, I also work for a mental health charity which is an NHS IAPT Provider. I
work with clients from a wide range of social contexts with diverse issues which include: anxiety and
depression; low self-esteem; loss and grief; trauma; self-harm; sexuality and gender identity;
neurodivergence. I also have over 20 years’ experience of teaching in the sixth form sector.

What next
Counselling is a unique experience to connect with another person who will listen with intent and
sincerity, and it is important that you find a therapist you feel comfortable with. Our initial session is an
opportunity to tell me about your current situation, personal history and your expectations of therapy.
It also enables me to describe how I can help you and for you to ask any questions. After the session,
I will encourage you to take a few days to think about whether you would like to continue with further
sessions and then let me know.
