About me
Counselling is a talking therapy that aims to improve an individuals well-being. I will gently guide you to create the changes you wish for yourself, as I believe you are the expert on yourself. There are no expectations to be anybody other than you!
I work short or long term with clients and this will be regularly reviewed to ensure you, the client, are beginning to understand and process your own emotional wellbeing difficulties.
I provide a comfortable, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to explore at your own pace, feelings and thoughts you my be struggling with.
My aim is to help individuals gain emotional strength and a greater sense of self in a supportive and empathic environment, where you are heard, understood and fully accepted for who you are.
Making the first call can be daunting, I know because I had to do it myself, but please feel assured that once you have your journey of making sense of your own life will begin.
I use an integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy and this means that I will draw upon more than one theory throughout our work together. This is because I believe that what works with one person within therapy may not be the best approach for someone else. The integrative model allows therapy to be flexible and adaptable in line with each clients personal needs and expectations.

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.
