About me

Do you feel that you can't cope with things, that your life is out of your control and that you can't handle it? Are you feeling stressed, anxious, low, indecisive? Do you want to make some changes but do not know what they are or how to do it? Some talking therapy could help you to take back control of your life.

I have over twenty five years experience of working as a fully qualified counsellor/psychotherapist and am BACP Accredited. I offer a caring, supportive and confidential space for individuals and couples. I use a variety of counselling approaches/ways of working that can be beneficial and relevant to each individual client. We are all unique so our concerns and the strategies needed to cope with them needs to be unique too - one size does not fit all!.

We will all experience difficulties at some time in our lives and may need someone other than our families and friends to talk to. Speaking to someone who can use their skills, experience and knowledge, and who has no emotional involvement means they can help us to see things from a different perspective, explore possible changes/options/coping strategies and guide and support you in moving forward in the way you want to. I believe that much counselling/psychotherapy is about helping clients to become more self-aware, this then enables them to see what the best way forward is for them, which facilitates their ability to be in control of their lives again - or even for the first time.

I offer short and long term therapy which during the present Covid situation are taking place online (mainly using Zoom but FaceTime, WhatsApp, etc. can be used if clients prefer).

I am happy for you to contact me by telephone, text or email to briefly discuss your requirements and/or to arrange an initial appointment. Clients only commit themselves to attending the first session, I will make my recommendations at the end of that session, however, it is always the client's decision whether they feel further sessions would be beneficial for them.

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

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).

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
