About me
I am a Person Centred counsellor and a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I abide by the BACP Ethical guidelines.
The Person Centred approach trusts in the natural ability of people to help and discover within themselves their own solutions to any personal difficulties. It is a method that allows you to take the lead in discussing your problems, and I will accompany you on this journey without judgment.
I do this by offering a safe and confidential space to talk – where I will listen to you without judgement in a valuing and accepting environment. It is an opportunity for us to build a relationship based on trust and I will support you. Together we work to find solutions to improve your emotional wellbeing and problems of life issues. I will work with you as a unique individual.
The benefits of counselling will increase self-awareness and gain an understanding of your personal relationships. It can boost your trust in yourself and diminish feelings of anger, guilt, insecurity, or defensiveness. You take the lead in discussing your problems, and I will accompany you on this journey without judgment, giving you control over what is discussed in therapy regardless of your ethnicity, class, sexuality or gender.
I have worked with a diverse group of clients who have experienced a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression and coping with the challenges of everyday life. I have seen the great difference therapy has made to the lives and outlook of many clients.
It is one-to-one to counselling. The number of sessions available is for us to agree on - you may opt to have a set number of sessions or work open ended.

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.
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.
