About me
I am a BACP registered practitioner with a specialism in ADDICTION including drugs, alcohol, relationships, gambling, food, shopping, exercise. I see beyond the addiction, as this can be a symptom not a cause. I have 15 years experience of working in non residential rehab and charitable drug and alcohol services., and have worked in private practice for the last 4 years. Recovery is personal, and there is no one size fits all. I offer safe, discreet and confidential counselling to help unpack personal triggers around relapse, and help facilitate change.
I am passionate about working with self esteem, confidence and believing you can manage your feelings and emotions in a healthy way.
I use a person-centred and psychoeducational approach around issues relating to low mood, depression, anxiety, relationships, bereavement, grief, and sexuality.
I look forward to discussing any questions, queries, conflicts or anxieties you may have around entering therapy.

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.
