I am an experienced and qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist who has expanded my practice to integrate other useful methods of thinking.

Accreditation
I am a member of The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which is a membership organisation that sets standards for therapeutic practice and provides information for clients, therapists and the general public.
BACP has over 33,500 members who work to the standards set out in the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy”.
Supervision
The BACP requires that all counsellors undergo professional supervision of their practice. I therefore have a supervisor to ensure a high standard of professional practice. My supervision allows me to monitor and review my work and ensure a duty of care towards clients. Cases are always kept confidential.
