Counsellor Profile

As a BACP Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist I offer one to one therapy sessions with adults and young people who may be experiencing difficulties within their lives such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life changes, personal and family relationship issues.

As a psychodynamic counsellor I work with the issues that people bring with the belief that sometimes past experiences may influence present ones and these can be looked at using a reflective and interpretative process. I provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment in which myself and my client can work together to look at how best to deal with their problems. I offer both short and long term counselling with an initial assessment in which I can establish my client's needs for future therapeutic work. The importance of a trusting relationship between counsellor and client is paramount in my work and provides the base from which therapy begins.

I abide by the BACP Code of Ethics and hold professional indemnity insurance.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and registered with the United Kingdom Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (UKRCP).

I currently work in a Further Education institution providing pastoral support and counselling to young people. I have experience of working as a volunteer counsellor at a youth and adult counselling agency.
