About me

I am a qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist, and a Registered Member BACP.

My private practice is a comfortable room located within Westerfield Business Centre, Westerfield, Ipswich, and I offer face to face talking therapy sessions to adult individuals and couples who may be feeling vulnerable and wish to explore their thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviour.  I also provide online talking therapy via Zoom.

Therapy sessions are available on a regular basis, short term or long term to suit your needs.
By utilising a variety of therapeutic approaches, I can help you to talk about your life and anything that may be confusing, painful or uncomfortable in a safe and confidential place.

Member organisations

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

There are many reasons why people find counselling beneficial.  Counselling provides a place that is separate from everyday life with someone who is trained to listen attentively and care for their mental wellbeing.  I can help you with unresolved painful memories, to gain control in a difficult life situation, and to find the strength to move forward.

By talking about how you are feeling and exploring the root causes of your emotional discomfort, I can help to alleviate many presenting problems.  These are the most common reasons why people seek help and is by no means an exhaustive list:

Acceptance and Loss

Addictions

Anger and Rage

Anxiety and Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Bereavement and Grief

Borderline conditions
