About me

I provide counselling supervision and long term psychotherapy. I have over 20 years experience of working with individuals couples and groups focusing on relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, loss and bereavement. My specialism is working with people with life-threatening illnesses, their families and friends.

I provide a confidential and safe place to explore the difficulties you may be having with your life. I will neither judge nor advise, but will explore with you your thoughts and feelings. My aim is that you feel understood and gain insights to help you live your life more fully, making changes or coming to terms with things that cannot be changed.

I offer an initial meeting (at reduced cost) so that we can find out more about each other. By the end of this you will be able to decide whether psychotherapy is the right step for you and whether we can and want to work together.

My approach is person-centred/existential.

I am a registered member of UKCP (United Kingdon Council for Psychotherapy) and BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and am committed to working within their ethical frameworks

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

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.

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.
