About me
With the new year comes an opportunity to reappraise how we navigate our lives. At points in life, we can feel lost or overwhelmed by our thoughts, feelings and experiences. Sometimes it's difficult to talk to the people around us about what we're going through, and we can be left feeling less able to cope.
Within a collaborative therapeutic relationship, you can find new perspectives and a greater understanding of yourself, your past experiences, your relationships and the challenges life presents you with. I am committed to providing you with a non-judgemental, confidential, empathetic and supportive environment, where together we can work towards lasting change and a more fulfilling life.
My counselling approach is integrative, which means I draw from a number of counselling theories to tailor my work with you as a unique individual. I aim to be flexible and dynamic in my approach to our work together.
Prior to qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor, I worked for 20 years with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds in areas such as problematic behaviours, managing mental health issue such as anxiety and depression, relationships, substance and alcohol misuse, anger management, understanding thoughts/feelings/behaviours and problem solving.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, I adhere to their ethical and practice guidelines, keep up to date with new research, undertake regular further training in my professional development and attend supervision. I hold a clear, enhanced Criminal Records Bureau check.
I offer a free 30 minute phone consultation where we will have an opportunity to meet each other, discuss what brings you to counselling, and you can get a feel for how I work.
I have experience of working with a range of issues including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, self-esteem and low self worth, family issues, trauma, challenging childhood experiences, bereavement, OCD, stress, relationship problems and patterns of relating, guilt, shame, self harm and suicidal feelings.
I work both in person and online offering short and long term counselling and psychotherapy. My counselling practices are in Farnham and Guildford. I am easily accessible from Camberley, Farnborough, Fleet, Aldershot, Lightwater, Sandhurst, Basingstoke, Godalming, Woking, Liphook and Bordon. I offer a comfortable, private and purpose built therapeutic space for us to meet in.

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.
