About me

I’m an approachable, professional, and qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor with over 15 years of experience successfully working with a wide range of issues with clients aged 18 to clients in their 60's and 70's.

Counselling can help you in a crisis, with major life changes, smaller difficulties or self-development. I offer a safe and secure space to explore your issues on zoom without any judgement. I can facilitate you in finding new ways to cope and move forward with your problems and feel more in control.  I aim to help you understand and work with your thoughts, feelings and how they affect your life. I can help you explore and find your own answers, see challenges from a different perspective, build motivation and inspire hope for the future.  I've had counselling myself and my life experiences enable me to build a good rapport with you, supporting you in an understanding empathic way.

My Approach and How I can help

I'm trained in Integrative Counselling, which means that I can draw from different approaches to suit your needs. The approaches I use are Psychodynamic, Humanistic and Transpersonal. The model I trained in is a relational model which is about the different ways people relate to each other. This is particularly useful when working with relationship issues. I believe my relationship with you is an equally important part of counselling as my training and experience. Our relationships, experiences and environment in childhood influence our relationships and shape who we are today, and awareness and insight can be gained from exploring our past to positively influence the future.

Some of the issues I have worked with are:

  • anxiety

  • bereavement or loss

  • depression

  • stress

  • relationship Issues

  • low self-esteem/confidence

  • self-harm

  • Childhood sexual abuse/rape (mental and emotional abuse)

My Experience

I have extensive hours of practice working with survivors of rape and sexual abuse at RASASC (Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre) over 7 years, which included working with related issues such as depression, self-esteem, loss, anger, trauma, stress and relationship issues. I have also worked in a women's prison and a women's centre and in private practice. I also work with men.

I work with individual adults on a short term or long term basis.

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.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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).
