About me

We all have problems in our lives and sometimes it helps to talk to someone who isn't family or friend. I would like to offer confidential support and help to explore anything that's worrying you and make sense of what's going on so that you can find the best way forward for a more satisfying life.

I have over 25 years experience as a counsellor/ psychotherapist in the NHS (Royal London Hospital), schools, charities such as Threshold Counselling Service and the Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre, Employee Assistance Programmes as well as running an established private practice since 1995.  I also work as a trauma therapist on specialist projects for a London based organisation. Having worked with a diverse range of people (aged 10 - 73) in various settings with a wide range of issues including, stress, anxiety, low self esteem, bereavement, panic attacks, social anxiety, family issues, relationships and depression I hope I'm well placed to help you too.  I also have specialist knowledge and experience of abuse, trauma and ptsd. 

I'm well qualified, had extensive training to use a variety of methods and have a holistic approach so that I can make sure you have the type of counselling that's suited to your particular experiences and needs. This may include short-term (6-20 sessions) or longer-term counselling; stress management training; mindfulness; life-coaching.

I am a registered and accredited BACP member and UKRCP registered independent practitioner. I abide by the BACP code of ethics.  I have full enhanced CRB disclosure. I am a Cigna Healthcare approved provider. You can, therefore, be sure that I have to comply with high standards personally and professionally.

Counselling could help you - why not give me a call or email me so that we can arrange for an initial session. You won't be committed to anything but people have often said that this session can feel reassuring as it gives a chance to talk about what might be helpful for you, gives you an opportunity to ask any questions and any other concerns you may have.  Be assured that you are not obligated to anything after this.  However, if you then feel that you would like to continue, we can arrange a day and time that's convenient.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).

Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.

Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.

All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
