Adults
I offer you a safe space to start identifying the learnt messages from trying to conform and please the world and others and separating them from who you really are, not who you have become. Through a neuro-affirmative and person-centred lens, I support recognising and celebrating differences while respecting the complexity of being different in a world that promotes a specific norm and the sense of elation and grief it can bring. You are the expert on yourself, but you may have lost your voice.
I am primarily trained as a Person-Centred practitioner, but I also have training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and use psychoeducation in my work, as well as Gestalt and creative methods. I adapt to what suits you and what you need. t is essential you find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with, someone you think you can genuinely open up to and someone who understands you. This is your time and your trust to give to someone. Initially, we will speak on the phone (if comfortable - telephone conversations are not for everyone) and see if we feel a connection before we then schedule a first meeting and start our time together.
Children
Parents: I have been working with children from (7-18+ years old) and families for over 20 years. I engage very well with all children, and I have often been told they feel comfortable with me and want to talk to me. I can adapt my communication accordingly and have supported the most difficult of behaviours and mental health concerns. Please refer to my website for a full list of specialist training and career experience.
Initially, we will speak on the phone and discuss how counselling works and what you hope to gain as parents. I will then meet your child and we will then agree whether we feel a connection and wish to proceed. Some children come with specific topics they wish to discuss and have reached their own conclusion within a few sessions, whereas some children need longer and find it hard to face and process their emotions. We will discuss this more when we initially talk. We will have reviews and communicate throughout, while making sure I hold a safe confidential space for your child.
I can support almost all concerns that are brought to the counselling room because counselling skills are not limited to certain subjects to achieve positive changes and understanding. Please see my website for full details.

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.

This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
