About me
I am a Person-Centred Counsellor offering face-to-face sessions from my office in Lancaster. I also offer telephone and secure online sessions should this feel a better fit. I approach my work with the utmost compassion and sensitivity. My goal is to help you achieve greater self-awareness and emotional stability by offering a welcoming and supportive therapeutic environment. I work with a non-directive approach where the content of sessions is led by you at a
pace that feels right for you.
Sessions are held in a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Being able to provide my clients with high levels of empathy, understanding, and respect is something I consider a privilege and ensures that a strong, trusting and safe relationship can be built.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before starting to work privately I worked at a local LGBTQIA+ charity where I had sessions with young adults struggling with issues around identity. I also have experience working with neurodiversity, especially ADHD and with addiction and worked at a residential addiction treatment centre where I provided counselling for adults in recovery.
I am a fully Registered member of the BACP and work within their ethical framework. I offer both short and long term work to individuals aged 18 and over. I hold a level 5 qualification in Person-centred Counselling and Psychotherapy.
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.

Additional information
If you are interested in working with me, please contact me via email and we can book in an initial call to discuss how this might work. I am happy to provide a free 20 minute online meeting or phone call for us to get to know each other, discuss any previous experiences of therapy and address any questions you may have about the process. This gives us time to consider if working together is right for us both before committing to a first session. Usually we would have weekly sessions to begin with and we will evaluate what is working on a regular basis and modify sessions to suit your needs.
