About me

I am a fully qualified counsellor, having successfully completed the BA (Hons) Counselling Studies degree programme, with over 10 years of experience in the counselling field. I offer professional and confidential, person-centred counselling.

I work with adults aged 18 years and above, offering one-to-one counselling.
The counselling that I offer is usually open-ended, but can be flexible with whether it is long or short term counselling, depending on the individual client's needs.

Counselling offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space to explore any issues that the client may have, in order to gain more insight and understanding into themselves and their feelings and to identify any areas of life that a client may wish to change.
The building of an equal and trusting relationship is paramount to my work and I believe that each client that I work with is an individual and value them as such, working in an empathic and understanding way to help the client to discover and learn more about themselves and to find their own unique way of resolving any issues that are impacting upon them and moving forward with their lives.

In terms of my professional practice, I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and on the BACP Accredited Voluntary Register. This means that I adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework, and as such attend regular supervision, hold a current and up to date DBS and am fully covered by Professional Indemnity insurance. I am also registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and therefore compliant with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Member organisations

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
