About me
About Me and My Counselling Service
I am a caring and approachable therapist offering a private, non-judgmental space where you can truly feel heard and understood. Together, we'll gently examine how your life experiences influence your feelings, relationships, and coping strategies. My goal is to enhance your self-awareness and self-compassion, guiding you toward healthy progress within a supportive environment. With a background in mental health and substance misuse, I understand the importance of support, especially when trauma and substance use are part of the picture. This inspired me to become a therapist. I adopt a friendly, genuine, and collaborative style, never judging or instructing. We will move at your pace. Many clients find me easy to talk to, and my Northern warmth, honesty, and humor create a welcoming, human-centered session.
Outside work, I enjoy crafts, nature, countryside walks, the seaside and spending time with animals.
"Everyone has a story, and everyone deserves to be heard without judgement."
I offer 1 hr counselling sessions for adults:
- Online: £50
- Face to face: £65.
- I do concessional rates for low income and student please ask
I am a BACP member.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at Banbury Academy for Counselling and qualified as an integrative counsellor. My approach combines person-centred therapy, Gestalt therapy and Transactional Analysis (TA), allowing me to tailor counselling to each client's individual needs.
My professional experience includes working in crisis services and prisons, supporting people affected by trauma, emotional distress and substance misuse.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with its professional and ethical standards.
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.
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.
