About me
Are you struggling to cope with life's problems? Do you need time and space to reflect on your life in a safe and trusting professional relationship?
Counselling can offer the opportunity to reflect on all aspects of your life, a time to release emotions, explore thoughts and beliefs, and consider changes you would like to make.
I offer Integrative Counselling based on the CWR model of Christian Counselling. Emphasis is on the whole person, identifying how the problem is affecting the person physically, emotionally, rationally, behaviourally, and spiritually. Exploration of these areas can help a person to move forward and discover the freedom to grow.
Although this Integrative model is based on Christian Biblical Values, it is not exclusively used to counsel Christian Clients- I welcome any individual, whatever their religious belief or background. Short-term counselling is offered to develop strategies of coping, and longer-term counselling provides opportunity to consider issues at a deeper level, which is vital for clients struggling with more complex issues such as trauma and abuse.
I also offer supervision for counsellors-please contact for further details.
Due to the continued prevalence of Coronavirus, I offer Face-to-Face sessions with additional precautions in place. Details will be given prior to assessment. I am also holding sessions via Zoom, WhatsApp, Skype and on the telephone.

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.
