About me

Come along to an initial session and judge for yourself whether counselling/psychotherapy is for you. You might be surprised how it could enhance your life and help you to cope better with difficult situations. I believe in the following statement by James Hollis (1998): "I am not only what happened to me; I am also what I choose to become." In therapy we would explore what happened to you in the past and how that might influence your thoughts, feelings and behaviour in current situations. Thus you would become aware of your patterns and find choices how you might want to change in order to achieve different outcomes.

Counselling and psychotherapy has always attracted me as a profession because I enjoy working with people from all different walks of life. Whatever your issue might be I offer empathy and a non-judgmental way of working with you, hoping that you will leave the last session with the genuine feeling that you have achieved what you came for: to feel better and more able to cope with life in general or with a specific issue.

My counselling training took place over the last 15 years and is still ongoing as I believe it is important to keep knowledge updated. I trained in humanistic counselling (Person-centred, ExistentiaI, Gestalt) and in CBT, Transactional Analysis and recently qualified as a NLP practitioner. I offer therapy for indiviudals (16 years +) and couples in English or German. For many years I have worked at GP surgeries and for the NHS.

I work from home and my hours are flexible from Monday to Friday. In addition I offer telephone counselling and online counselling (either live via skype or per email).

I am BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists) senior accredited and registered with UKRCP (United Kingdaom Register for Counsellors and Psychotherapists).

My counselling experience started as a befriender for the National Schizophrenia Foundation. Then I trained with and joined Cruse Bereavement Care, working for them as counsellor, supervisor, referral secretary and prison coordinator. From 1999 until 2001 I volunteered for RASASC (rape and sexual abuse support centre).

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.

Accredited register membership
