About me
Do you feel the need to talk to someone? Are you feeling anxious, depressed? Sometimes you may not know what is wrong other than you don't feel your normal self or feel sad, lonely, lost your confidence, having relationship problems. There are many reasons people seek counselling. It can feel a big step starting therapy, whether it is for just a few weeks or longer term. Exploring and talking through your thoughts and feelings with a therapist can be very helpful, enlightening and enable change.
I am a very experienced, qualified counsellor and psychotherapist in private practice in Rayleigh, Essex. I offer one to one counselling and psychotherapy for individuals.
My approach is psychodynamic/psychoanalytic, which considers how past experiences, relationships and the unconscious can have an impact on the present. I provide a confidential, safe environment to enable the exploration of a wide range of difficulties/issues, thoughts, feelings, dreams or whatever emerges during your counselling session.
I have NHS experience working with a broad range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression and social anxiety.
I offer both short and long term counselling depending on patient/client needs as discussed during our first session together.
I also work on a short time basis with client's referred by their company's Employer's Assistance Schemes (EAP), or under private health insurance.

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.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
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).
