About me
Change is possible, even when you've felt stuck for a long time.
Talking things through can help, but research shows that sometimes it’s not quite enough to create real change. You may have felt this yourself.
There are parts of our ourselves just beyond words that we find difficult to pin down, parts that can keep us stuck. These need to be acknowledged too.
I help and encourage clients to understand and make room for these parts.
With gentle support and kindness these aspects of ourselves can be brought into the light, allowing something inside of us to begin to shift, evolve and grow.
As a therapist, I understand the importance of being real and human in the therapy room, but I also bring something distinct: my experience and knowledge of the therapy process, how to help people explore what's going on for them, and how to create a space where change can happen. Together, we can explore what matters to you, making room for growth and a deeper understanding, and opening up the possibilities inherent in lasting change.

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.

Additional information
Sessions last 60 minutes and are usually held at the same time each week, providing consistency and continuity for the therapeutic work.
Payment is made in advance by bank transfer or cash. I offer counselling online across the UK and face-to-face in Trowbridge and Bath.
There is no charge for your first session. This gives us an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to therapy, for you to ask any questions, and for both of us to consider whether working together feels right before committing to further sessions..
There is no fixed commitment to a particular number of sessions. We will review the work as we go and discuss what feels most helpful for you.
