You can engage me with confidence
Embarking on therapy shows great strength and courage but it requires significant trust in your therapist, in a way and to a degree that you may not have experienced previously. In that context, you deserve to know that your trust has a sound basis.
​
My past, current and potential clients can all take comfort from my being professionally regulated, DBS vetted, comprehensively insured and registered for data protection purposes.
