About me
I specialise in Relationships, grief work and anxiety
Relationships-Feel spark has gone from the relationship? Noticed more conflict between you? Feel insecure in the relationship? Feel you need reassurance or have found yourself keeping your partner at arms length and don't know why? Maybe you have been considering leaving your partner and want to make sure you are making the right decision.I can help you identify patterns and explore ways for you to move forward.
Grief- An upsetting and stressful emotion. Loss can be hard to navigate, people don't know what to say so they don't say anything. Sudden loss can feel like your life has been tipped upside down and no longer makes any sense. I can support you through the navigation, so you don't feel alone, a burden and to help you make sense of you now.
Anxiety-Do you experience "what if thinking" fear and worries stop you from doing things? We can explore the causes, techniques to manage anxiety more effectively and I can provide a little bit of education about anxiety.

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.

Further information
I have completed Cruse Bereavement training, supporting people through their grief and loss. Grief presents in various ways and can have a crippling impact on people. Loss of love, loss of identity, loss of future plans, and more.
I have a Couples Counselling Diploma, which helps me to identify patterns of behaviour, elicit relationship fears, triggers for conflict and informs my knowledge on effective communication styles.
I have experience of counselling people who have been affected by cancer and many years experience and knowledge of cancer and the affects of cancer. A cancer diagnosis can lead to questions, anger, guilt, loss of identity, anxiety and repeated episodes of experiencing unknown territory.
I have 19 years of experience of supporting various people who self harm, express suicidal thoughts and I have supported people who have lost people through sudden deaths.
