My Qualifications & Accreditations

It can seem a daunting task to find the right therapist or supervisor that you feel both connected to and that is skilled enough to walk your path with you.  With this in mind, I feel that it is important to provide transparency in my training and qualifications so that you are able to see my level of competency and professional ability to support your emotional needs.
It is important to me to work collaboratively with both my client’s and supervisees. I strive to provide a safe, welcoming space for you, whether our work together takes place in person or online.

First and foremost, I am a professionally qualified, accredited Psychotherapist and hold registered accredited membership with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)  This means that I commit to working to a specific ethical framework and attend regular supervision of my practice as per the obligations of my role. I am DBS checked and fully insured.
