About me
My Counselling Service, The Mooring Counselling Service, is available to anyone who wants to take some time out from the pressures and ‘storms’ of life in order to find a place that is safe, stable and supportive. I offer one-to-one individual counselling sessions for adults and young people. I offer both short and long term therapy.
I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor/Psychotherapist. I am a Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and have also been awarded BACP Accreditation. My past experience includes working as a Teacher, Family Support Worker, Group Facilitator and Bereavement Counsellor. I now work as a Counsellor within a School setting and in my own Private Practice. I work with EAP companies and professional sporting bodies.
I have a special interest in, and experience of, working with transition, loss and ‘shattered dreams’ i.e feeling as if ‘this was not how it was supposed to be’. This led me to set up The Mooring Counselling Service in order to support people through times of change, challenge and loss. I also have experience of working with a wide range of other issues including stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship issues.
Why Counselling?
-
Are you struggling to cope after a bereavement, separation, diagnosis, or major disappointment?
-
Are you feeling low in mood, lacking in motivation or confidence?
-
Do you find it difficult to manage your feelings?
-
Are your ways of coping harming you?
-
Do you often experience relationships as disappointing or depriving?
-
Do you carry with you the shadow of past events?
-
Do you want to take some time out to consider a possible new direction for your life?
Counselling may be able to help you begin to accept the unchangeable, make decisions about what can be changed, and to reconnect with your hopes and dreams so that you can find new ways forward.
Counselling provides an opportunity to explore the issues that are concerning you, maybe fully for the first time, within the context of a professional relationship that is supportive and free from judgement. Often coming to a place of acceptance of yourself and your situation is the beginning of change. Counselling can help you to enjoy greater emotional and relational health; in short to live life more fully.

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.
