Contact me for your free introduction call to see how we can work together.
I have a BA (Hons) degree in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy.
As a counsellor I provide a quiet, safe and confidential space for you to discuss things you may feel unable to say to friends, family, work colleagues.
I will bring warmth, empathy and I will not judge you. I strongly believe a good working relationship between the counsellor and client, makes the world of difference to your experience. I have a natural ability to build rapports and help clients to settle in.
Despite my youthful appearance, I have over 20 years work experience of supporting others. I bring a wealth of knowledge and skills gained from working with people with: health anxiety, self-harm, suicide, substance abuse and offending behaviour.
Here is a little more about what I offer and what it means....
I am a Person Centred counsellor by background, with the ability to work pluralistically with you.
What does this mean for you?
This means I believe you are the expert of you. I will work with you and your needs. If you want to be heard, if you want to be seen, we can take the journey of exploration together. I will be with you each step of the way, believing you have the ability for growth and resolution.
I offer -telephone, online counselling and walk and talk sessions (subject to terms and conditions).Sessions can be weekly or bi-weekly.

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.
