About me
When you're feeling unsettled in some way it can be helpful to talk things through with someone who is not involved with the rest of your life. Counselling may help here.
I offer a warm, non judgemental space where we can build a working relationship together to help you find your way forward with the things that are bothering you.
I work from a person centred perspective and believe that in the right relationship we can make changes in our lives to live in a more fulfilling way. I may offer creative work if it's appropriate as it can be helpful when it's difficult to find words.
I work with wide range of issues and sometimes people bring a very specific thing like a relationship problem or anxiety while others may come just to learn more about themselves.
I have been counselling since 1992 and am a Registered Accredited Member of the BACP and an Accredited Supervisor.
I have experience of working with adults, young people and couples in private practice, General Practice and a University Counselling Service.

Member organisations
school 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 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
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.
