About me

I have been practicing as a counsellor/psychotherapist since I qualified 24 years ago. I work with adults - both couples and individuals. 

I can offer SINGLE SESSION COUNSELLING, for those who have a specific issue that they would like to discuss.  If this is something you are interested in, then do email or telephone me and we can discuss it further.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING.   After 24 years of practice I have a wide variety of experience in all sorts of issues, including depression, worry and anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, stress, anger management, relationship issues, bereavement and loss, serious illness and other lifestyle changes.

COUPLES COUNSELLING.  I have been working with couples throughout my counselling career.

ABOUT ME.  In 2001 I started the counselling service at a small local hospice, and I managed that service for 10 years.  I have also worked as a tutor teaching 2nd and 3rd year students studying for their diploma in counselling

Currently I work in private practice and have done for 13 years. 

I have been a senior accredited counsellor with the BACP since August 2012. This means that I have demonstrated to the BACP that I provide a competent, professional, ethical and independent practice and that I abide by their standards, ethics and guidelines.

As a senior accredited counsellor with the BACP I am required to have ongoing supervision and I see my supervisor on a monthly basis. This ensures that I continue to work ethically and professionally with all my clients.

As a senior accredited counsellor with the BACP, I am required to continue with my professional development and education so I regularly attend workshops and training days and read extensively on the subject of psychotherapy and counselling.

I am also trained to supervise counsellors.

I can offer appointments on Tuesdays, Wednesdays Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays during the day time, my last appointment is at 4pm

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.

Additional information

I charge my clients £50 per session of 60 minutes.

There is absolutely no obligation to enter into counselling with me after attending the assessment session.
