About me
I am an authentic person who thrives on connecting with people, I offer a comfortable, relaxed space for people to open up and explore their thoughts and feelings.
I am a qualified Person Centred Counsellor for adults, children and young people. Being Person Centred means my clients are the centre of the work and they lead the way in sessions, bringing what you choose each week. For some this may be quite linear but for others you could a range of things you want to work through.
I have a range of media to use in our work together, including games, toys, fidgets, sand, sandtray accessories and much more. I am also very happy to work in the traditional talking therapy way, its whatever works best for the individual.
I am a registered member of the BACP and I am guided by the BACP's ethical framework which ensures the work we do is safe. I undertake regular supervision to ensure I am working in the best possible way for my clients and regular continued professional development to always ensure I am learning and adapting to suit each one of my clients needs.
Taking the first step into counselling can be really tough and I hope to make this as comfortable as possible for you. I offer warmth and a non judgemental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits your needs.
I offer a free consultation so you can let me know about your hopes for counselling and I can tell you about how the sessions can work.
I am happy to work both online or face to face.
I can work with a range of ilssues some common themes may be anger, abuse, anxiety, bereavement and other losses, self harm, self esteem, stress, overthinking, suicidal thoughts, family issues, low mood and depression

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.
