About me

Welcome to my profile,  

Life is full of unexpected events and things beyond our control.  These events can leave us overwhelmed or struggling with feelings that are hard to put down. I am based not far from the centre of Crewe, I offer counselling in bereavement, anxiety, depression and living with chronic pain conditions 

Counselling allows a client space and time to work through their feelings with a professional who will not rush or judge you. I will work alongside you with the issues that have brought you to counselling and by working through them they will become clearer and a way through can be found.

Some benefits to counselling are learning to communicate how you feel, a counsellor will allow you space to work through your feelings you will not be hurried. A counsellor will work with you to build a safe space where you can explore the things that you have come to counselling to explore. Having counselling can help with reducing anxiety, helping to established boundaries, and building self-confidence.

As a counsellor I want to make sure this is the right counselling for you and I am the right counsellor I offer a free 30 min session so you can see if we are going to be a good fit.

I work from my home office, I live with my husband and our three cats. I hold a degree in Person Centred counselling from the University of Derby.  I also undertake training to continue my professional development.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).

Further information

Covid information updated 

my counselling office is sprayed with disinfectant spray in-between clients, I leave a 30-minute space in between a client arriving and leaving, hand sanitizer is available and I take regular peak flow tests each week. 

I work form my home office based in Crewe; I offer a warm safe space to clients where they can talk openly. 

I live with my husband and our three cats, I will always ask about allergies and the cats will not be present in the counselling room if the client doesn’t wish them to be. A hot or cold drink will be offered upon arrival and there is a bathroom available if needed.

As a person centred counsellor I give clients are given space to talk and I help to process what they are dealing with. I may offer thoughts or give clarity so that the client can see a way through.
When you are stood on the edge I will stand beside you until you can take a step back.
