About me
Individual and Couples therapist. Perinatal specialist..
Is your life where you want it to be right now? Are you feeling positive and motivated? if not, counselling might be right for you.
I offer a safe, non judgemental space for individuals and couples to explore issues around personal life and relationships. I am a genuine and authentic person who will aim to support you as you navigate these challenges.
Life loves to throw curveballs at us and negotiating these issues can leave us feeling vulnerable, uncertain and without direction. Through effective therapy paths to moving forward can be identified, direction discovered and changes made.
I am a retired midwife and my speciality area is perinatal mental health, along with other areas indicated below.
I am available to discuss any issues with you and offer you the best, most effective support

I am also available to work with couples experiencing relationship difficulties.
My speciality area is anything around fertility, pregnancy, pregnancy loss and have undertaken additional training via SANDS.

Member organisations
school 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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
