About me
I am an Integrative counsellor and have a broad range of experience working with clients including young people and adults. The approach I use allows me to move freely between modalities whilst adapting and bringing together relevant elements according to the individual needs and requirements. I believe the essence of my role as a counsellor is the therapeutic relationship between the client and me, developing a trusting relationship within the counselling session is essential.
I involve the use of empathy, a non-judgmental approach, and authenticity. This alongside confidentiality creates a safe environment in which both the client and I can work together.
I am also working within the education, and substance misuse sector, this has provided me with a broad client base and experience to draw upon.

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
Life could be simple and yet at times feels full of complexities and decisions.
You may struggle to negotiate and navigate some of the obstacles that may have been carried for many years some from your childhood and some seemingly created by ourselves, this can lead to feelings that we are unable to identify or able to work through.
Counselling can allow you to sit still, take stock and share your journey with someone who won't offer you another map with indecipherable directions, who won't give you advice or a solution.
Instead, I will bear witness to your search and steadfastly walk alongside your courage to a place of sanctity and peace, a place of feeling better in yourself, giving you an understanding of what was and what can be.
Please call me so we can discuss your specific needs.
