About me
Welcome, are you finding that an increasing sense of isolation, dread or frustration has begun to affect your ability to cope?
Many of us seek therapy for a multitude of reasons such as when a life-changing crisis has arisen, with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma and reoccurring problems connected to relationships and work. Specialist training in grief and loss together with my own life experiences has informed my counselling practice about how endings in all their forms can shape and change a person's identity.
Taking this first courageous step in seeking help from a counsellor is a sign that you still carry hope that your problems aren't insurmountable and a belief that your life could be more fulfilling. Counselling could help through a collaborative process, where you and me working together may help you help yourself.
I am a qualified supervisor and accredited( BACP), integrative therapist with degree level qualifications in counselling alongside a wealth of experience working with individuals within my private practice and from various EAP organisations.

I have gained an abundance of experience working as a counsellor in private practice, as a rural counsellor for the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institute, EAP companies and for a number of charities offering mental health support services for people in the local area.It has been my absolute privilege to be witness to the positive changes clients from a broad adult age range have made in their lives.
Although such issues cannot always be categorized, I have worked with clients who sought help with managing issues related to anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, bereavement, depression, loss, low self esteem,stress, relationship and work problems.
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.
