About me
I offer individual counselling to children and to adults, as well as clinical supervision.
My core training is Person Centred counselling, which is rooted in empathy, authenticity and being non-judgemental.
Counselling offers a confidential opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings which you might find difficult to express elsewhere. My aim is to create an accepting, non-judgmental atmosphere where you can be supported to take charge of your life, identify what's holding you back, address any challenges, and move forward, to live authentically.
Counselling is a process by which we, together, can develop a unique, confidential, supportive relationship. Having someone to talk to can be a really effective way of enabling you to work out what is making you feel stuck, overcome whatever issues are impacting negatively on you and support your growth and development.

Member organisations
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.
