About me
Covid-19 update: May 2021 I am starting to open up to face to face working as well as continuing remote sessions for those that wish to.
I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor & Supervisor and a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist & Supervisor experienced in working with a wide range of clients and a variety of issues.
I understand that making the decision to start counselling and searching for a counsellor is not easy. I am dedicated to offering a respectful, non-judgemental environment where you can explore any difficulties you may be having. I provide a supportive, confidential space to help you make sense of what you are going through and I aim to assist you in learning about yourself with sensitivity and openness.
I have training in psychodynamic and person-centred counselling as well as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and trauma therapy. I use a combination of these counselling models to best tailor the therapy to your specific needs.
I offer general counselling to individuals from age 16 for a full range of emotional issues. I provide both short term counselling or longer term opened ended psychotherapy, depending on need. I see both men and women of any culture, race, religion or sexual orientation.
As well as my private practice I have worked in some counselling agencies, a GP counselling service, a hospice organisation and trauma rehabilitation work. I also currently lead a cancer support group and I am an approved Police Firearms counsellor. I have a background in nursing and bereavement support.
I also provide therapy for counselling students and supervision for counsellors and health care professionals.

Member organisations
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
UK Council for Psychotherapy
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.
