About me

I am a highly experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I am accredited through BACP as a counsellor, through BABCP as a cognitive-behavioural therapist and through IPT-UK to provide interpersonal psychotherapy. I have run my own therapy practice since 1998, in conjunction with any other roles I have held since that time. I have accrued, though my time with Mid Essex IAPT, as well as within previous roles, extensive experience of working as a psychological therapist across a variety of settings.
I often receive positive feedback from clients regarding my non-judgmental stance. I pride myself on working in an informed yet informal way that maximises client comfort when dealing with difficult issues. My specialism is adult mental health and emotional wellbeing, particularly depression, anxiety disorders and drug and alcohol addictions.
I have received IAPT accredited Supervisor Training and have provided clinical supervision to other CBT therapists and counsellors and consultative support to other professionals working in a caring capacity.
I formerly worked as a Senior Tutor for six years, during which time I was also entrusted with the responsibility of revising the Diploma in Integrative Counselling course I delivered in order it complied with BACP Gold Book accreditation standards - said course was, subsequently, the first in the country to achieve this status.
