About me
As a qualified counsellor, I work with adults, young people and children. I specialise in working with the 8-25 age group. My counselling orientation is the Person-Centred Approach to counselling. I use integrative approaches, to include Brief Solution Focused Therapy, T A, Gestalt therapy and I also work creatively. I also attend supervision once a fortnight.
I started my counselling career 10 years ago, completing my training at Nottingham University. Prior to this my career was in Youth work for 25 years. I have been able to transfer many skills and knowledge from youth work to working with young people in the counselling profession.
Some of my specialist training has been in the areas of:
- Anger and Frustration
- Coping with Anxiety
- Depression
- Bullying prevention
- Eating Disorders
- Self-Harm
- Low-Self-esteem.
- LGBT
- Coaching
- Bereavement
- Sleeping Issues
What is Counselling and how can it help you?
Counselling is about how you are feeling, the difficulties you are experiencing, the emotional load you are carrying, and is a means to help you heal from any pain and problems. Counselling is also an opportunity to help you understand yourself and how you relate to others, becoming more aware of the causes of your problems. This helps you understand yourself better and provides you with some techniques to help you cope.

Member organisations
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 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
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.

Further information
I am available on:
Tuesday to Thursday working flexibly am & pm.
When clients make initial contact with me about their availability to attend counselling, I will return contact within 24 hours. We can then arrange a time and day. If a client wishes to obtain further details about counselling, we can then discuss this prior to a counselling session.
At the first counselling session, clients will be asked to sign a working contract with myself. This will agree a therapeutic working relationship between counsellor and client. Clients will also complete a questionnaire to outline their problems and how these have impacted on them during the last week. Clients can terminate counselling at any time during the counselling period. During the last counselling session, clients will be asked to complete an evaluation, outlining their experience of counselling, and if they need further help from another agency. I specialise in face to face and online counselling work.
