About me

We can often feel overwhelmed. especially in the current climate of social media pressures and more recently feelings of isolation being high on our minds with the affect of Covid.

I provide a safe, quiet space for you to explore any aspects of your world or issues you may be having.  I am passionate in the belief that you are the expert on you and you hold the answers within yourself to reach for the stars you are aiming at.  My part is to walk alongside you as we explore this and to support you to find the right path to live your most authentic life.

I can help you to spot patterns of behaviour you may not have noticed and help to realise and widen your choices in life.

I work with many issues such as addictions, anxiety, self-harm, abuse, relationship issues and trauma.  You may just be experiencing general feelings of stress.  No issue is too trivial if it is important to you.

Our focus can be short or long term to meet your individual needs.

I work in Finchampstead, in a quiet and peaceful environment with no distractions to help you to relax, focus and gain all you can in your sessions.

Within a short drive from Wokingham, Barkham, Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Yateley, Eversley, Fleet and Arborfield with free onsite parking.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a BA (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Greenwich and am a member of the BACP.

As a member of BACP.  I follow their code of ethical conduct for counsellors and psychotherapists.

I have been in successful practice for over a decade.

I provide one to one therapy in a safe and private location.

In our session you can explore and express your thoughts and feelings in a compassionate and non-judgemental environment.

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).

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
