About me
I offer you a warm and compassionate space to talk about what is going on in your life. I believe it really can help to talk. My work is Person-Centred and as such non-judgemental, regardless of what you bring to the sessions.
I am open to working with everyone. As well as being a qualified counsellor my professional work experience includes education and for the past 18 years, the emergency services.
I am a qualified teacher with experience of providing 1-1 counselling for children and young people (I provide some sessions for the Dreadnought Centre in Pool) and have a current enhanced DBS check. I have recently joined the counselling teaching staff at Cornwall College.
I have my own private counselling room with parking/ toilet facilities. Alternatively, I am able to arrange sessions via Skype, Zoom or phone.
I can also offer you the chance to work outside- either walking and talking or at a suitable location.
Please do contact me with any enquiries.

Member organisations
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 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).
