About me
Are you struggling with overwhelming emotions or circumstances that leave you feeling nervous or overly worried all the time? Perhaps you experience a lack of purpose or enjoyment in everyday life, or you may have suffered a recent loss or bereavement. Whatever you’re experiencing, together, we can explore any issues that might be interfering with your emotional, mental, or physical health, so you can work toward finding healthy perspectives and meaning.
I am a qualified and Accredited member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and a member of both the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and the UK Association for Transactional Analysis, and I abide by their professional codes of Ethics.
I have helped people with anxiety, low mood, low self-confidence, anger, stress, bereavement, depression, grief, and trauma, and can help with issues of self-worth, body image, self-defeating behaviours, loneliness, and life change.

Member organisations
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
Speaking to a counsellor might feel daunting at first but it can also be freeing and empowering. Counselling can help assist you in exploring your thoughts and emotions to help you make sense of why you are thinking and feeling a certain way. Together we can identify and change the thoughts and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best.
If you feel ready, then please contact me by phone, text or email.
