About me
Sometimes aspects of our life can overwhelm us. Life events such as a bereavement, relationship/family issues, a job loss or isolation can leave us feeling fearful, stressed and unable to cope. We can also feel stuck in certain patterns that we wish to break free from. Talking about all these things with a counsellor can help to bring balance back into our lives and gain a new understanding of ourselves.
I aim to make it possible for you to speak about things which you might not have put into words before and ask questions to help you with your thinking. Giving yourself the space to talk openly and be heard can bring about tremendous change within.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an experienced counsellor and have worked with men and women aged from their early twenties to their eighties both long and short term. In addition to private practice I work at the Wimbledon Guild Counselling Service, which is a BACP accredited service.
My training background is Integrative and I draw on a variety of theoretical frameworks that include; psychodynamic, humanistic, gestalt and transpersonal.
I am a member of the BACP and work within the BACP’s ethical framework and supervision guidelines.
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
If you have any questions or would like to book an initial session please contact me in confidence. In the initial session we would meet and talk about your reasons for coming to counselling and together consider whether continuing to meet would be beneficial.
We can work together for an agreed number of sessions or work on an open-ended basis. It can be difficult to know how many sessions are needed so we can discuss this in the first session and regularly review this if we choose to continue meeting.
