About me
My private practice is in a dedicated space within my own home, on the outskirts of Beenham, West Berkshire, just 5 miles from J12 on the M4. I provide space to explore and make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings that can, at times, feel overwhelming when struggling with them alone. If you are experiencing difficulty, I provide short-term and longer term counselling support, in-person and online.
I am a BACP accredited Psychodynamic counsellor providing support for a range of issues that undermine our ability to manage day to day life effectively, including anxiety, depression, abuse, trauma, autism, ADHD, anger management, family and work relationships, phobia and low self esteem.
I have experience as a senior clinical manager, and private practitioner since 2003. My counselling experience is drawn from registered counselling charities, corporate counselling services and my private practice.
Please call me on 07717 351 777 or send an email if you would like to book a session or ask any further questions.

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.
