About me
I am passionate about enabling you to be the best that you can be, supporting and helping you to develop skills to overcome difficulties that you may be facing. We will work together to help you understand problems you are experiencing and develop positive changes in your life.
I am a professional and very experienced BACP Accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor, offering long and short term therapy for individuals, couples and families.
I am an integrative therapist with training in a range of therapeutic approaches. This enables me to adapt our work together to meet your specific needs and get the best out of therapy. I have skills and expertise in a wide range of problems and have a particular interest in relationship issues, depression and bereavement.
I will regularly review the work with you to ensure that you are getting what you want from treatment.
I work in the town centre of Ashbourne in comfortable, quiet and safe surroundings with adjacent parking.
I can offer day or evening appointments.
Please contact me on 07999 010207 for a short phone call to discuss your treatment.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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 membership
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).
