About me
I am a BACP and UKCP-registered supervisor, counsellor, and psychotherapist with over 30 years’ experience. I’m aligned with Category C of the SCoPEd framework, which recognises an advanced level of training, experience, and professional responsibility within the field.
I offer focused eight-week therapy for individuals seeking depth, clarity, and meaningful change within a contained and purposeful time frame. Eight weeks can be a powerful and supportive framework for change. It provides structure and momentum, while allowing enough depth for meaningful exploration.
In our work together, we will agree to focus on resolving a specific issue in your life, offering clarity, direction, and a shared sense of purpose. While our work may centre on one particular concern, it often brings wider benefits, deepening self-understanding, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful shifts in other areas of your life.
This time-limited approach can be particularly helpful when we focus on a specific concern, such as anxiety, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low mood, life transitions, or a loss of direction. Working in this way creates clarity and purpose, while still allowing space for insight and growth.

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.
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 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.

Further information
I’m a BACP and UKCP-registered supervisor, counsellor, and psychotherapist with 35 years of experience. I believe that true healing happens when we feel genuinely seen and heard. In our work together, I provide a safe and supportive space to explore the deeper, often hidden parts of yourself - those places where anxiety, depression, fear, and loss can quietly take hold.
There are times when life can feel difficult, uncertain, or just not quite how it used to. You might be dealing with anxiety, loss, relationship difficulties, change, or a feeling that you have lost your sense of direction. Sometimes you know exactly what is troubling you. Other times, you just have a feeling that something needs to change.
The people and experiences in our lives become part of the story of who we are. In some ways, we are a bit like a tree, shaped by our roots, the environment around us, and everything we have experienced along the way. Some relationships become deeply rooted and are an important part of our lives, while others sit further out, offering friendship, connection, support, and a sense of belonging.
