About Me

Professional Qualifications

I have a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy and am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS), Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).   As a registered member, I abide by the code of ethics set out by these organisations.

Clinical Experience

I have over 15 years experience, working with adults in the NHS, charitable organisations and in private practice.  In my work in the NHS I specialised in perinatal mental health offering psychological support to individuals who have experienced, pregnancy loss, birth trauma and postnatal depression.  I am currently working in a primary care NHS service offering short term psychotherapy to individuals and couples.

As an Integrative Counselling Psychologist and Psychotherapist, I draw upon a variety of psychological approaches to suit the individual needs of each client.  I value the importance of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and client to provide a safe space to explore both past and present experiences.  It is through this exploration that individuals can gain a greater understanding of themselves and their relationships to bring about change.

Clinical Supervision

In addition, I also offer clinical supervision to counsellors and psychotherapists who are either in training or working towards accreditation or who have qualified and are working in clinical practice.
