About me

Hello.

I have been an Integrative Counsellor and E.M.D.R. Therapist for a number of years and my training means that I can use which ever style of counselling that suits the presenting issue, but I let you lead on your journey. 

Sometimes it is appropriate to use E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which is used for trauma, (from the client's perspective), for example, complicated grief, P.T.S.D., anxiety and depression.  During this process you are wide awake, and once the groundwork is done, you don't even need to say much.  From my own experience, I know it works!

The relationship between the client and the counsellor is important.  I will hear you, reflect and probably challenge your thought process.  If you contact me, you will know within a short space of time whether you feel you can work with me - trust your gut.

During the first session, I can answer any questions you may have.  I take notes, to open up a filing cabinet in my mind and the session moves on from there.  Each session lasts for fifty minutes and is private and confidential.

Daytime and evenings appointments are available, please email or call me for further details.

Entering into the counselling relationship can feel daunting, but take the step - until you do, you will never know how much you have to gain!

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
