About me
I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor with many years’ experience supporting adults, young people and couples with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
Alongside my own private practice, I also manage a small team of carefully selected therapists in training, who work within Wellness Counselling and Psychotherapy. Each therapist is chosen with care and brings their own individual personality, experience, interests and developing areas of expertise to their therapeutic work.
I believe that access to good-quality therapy should not be limited by cost. For this reason, our therapists in training are able to offer sessions at reduced fees, providing a more affordable route into counselling and psychotherapy without compromising on the importance of a safe, professional and supportive therapeutic relationship.
Choosing a therapist in training can also offer some unique benefits. Trainee therapists are actively engaged in their professional development and have access to current psychological theory, contemporary therapeutic approaches and developing research. They can bring fresh perspectives, enthusiasm and a range of newer skills and therapeutic techniques to their work.
All therapists in training work within appropriate professional and ethical frameworks and have access to clinical supervision as part of their development. I provide oversight and support to ensure that clients receive appropriate, thoughtful and professionally conducted therapy.
The team offers a range of therapeutic approaches, skills and areas of interest, allowing us to consider what may be the best fit for each individual. Reduced fees make therapy more accessible, while the quality, care and professionalism of the service remain central to everything we do.
Whether you are looking for support with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationships, self-esteem, life changes or other difficulties, we aim to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental and confidential space in which you can explore what is happening and begin to move forward.

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.
