Professional Qualifications & CPD
The relationship between therapist and client is at the heart of effective therapy, but I also believe it's important that you know who you're choosing to work with. My qualifications, professional registrations and ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) reflect a commitment to practising safely, ethically and in line with current knowledge. Below you'll find details of my training, professional memberships and the additional learning that continues to shape and inform my practice.

Ready to take the first step?
If you've found your way to this page, there's a good chance you've recognised something in your own experience.
You may already know what you'd like support with, or perhaps you're simply looking for a therapist whose approach feels right for you.
The first step is to book an Initial Consultation. This is a 50-minute appointment where we'll explore what has brought you to therapy, discuss what you're hoping to gain from counselling, and answer any questions you may have. It's also an opportunity for us both to consider whether my way of working feels like the right fit.
As an integrative and pluralistic counsellor and psychotherapist, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Therapy is tailored to you, your experiences, your strengths and your goals.
There is no pressure or obligation to continue afterwards. If we both feel we're the right fit to work together, we'll agree a plan for ongoing therapy at a pace that feels right for you.
