About me
At times we can feel stuck in our lives, and within our relationships, maybe a situation has becomes intolerable, or we simply want to make some changes. Choosing to start counselling is a recognition that someone may be able to help, instead of struggling to deal with the issues alone. There may have been a recent crisis, however sometimes it can be difficult to identify the reasons why we feel unhappy, and at these times talking to a counsellor in confidence can be hugely beneficial and enlightening. Together we can identify patterns of feelings, thoughts and behaviour which may be contributing to your current difficulties.
Sometimes we need help to access our resources and capacities in order to deal with our problems. I work collaboratively, and together we will explore your experiences in order to bring deeper understanding to your way of relating and responding. This offers an opportunity to recognise and manage your feelings and behaviours.
At the heart of effective counselling lies a warm, honest and trusting relationship, where uncomfortable or difficult matters can be explored. Feeling comfortable enough to put painful or confusing thoughts and feelings into words to identify your experience can bring understanding and relief. So whether you are experiencing relationship struggles, anxiety, a loss in your life, depression, generalised anxiety disorder, stress, feeling low or alone, or coping with illness I hope to provide you a space where you feel understood and change can be facilitated.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Integrative counsellor so I will be able to support you by drawing from a variety of counselling approaches that include Person Centred, Psychodynamic, Attachment, Gestalt, T.A and CBT. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) (registration no. 145704), whose ethical framework and guidelines I adhere to (www.bacp.co.uk).
Professional Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Level 2 and Level 3 Certificates in Counselling Skills.
Certificate in CBT
Certificate in Couple Therapy
I have undertaken further studies in Relationship therapy, focusing on effective communication within relationships whilst exploring the issues. I work with individuals and couples who want support in dealing with their relationships in a safe and non-judgmental approach.
In addition to my private practice in Teddington, I worked for a number of years with patients, carers and the bereaved in individual and group counselling at a cancer support centre attached to a hospital, so I have extensive experience in working with the emotional impact of living with cancer.
I have worked for a number of years within a school environment as a counsellor with Place2Be.
I am experienced in both short and long term counselling
I undertake regular CPD in order to maintain and enhance my skills and knowledge.
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.

Further information
How I work
We would have an initial appointment where you will have the opportunity to outline your concerns, ask any questions and check out if my approach would be beneficial for you Should we decide to go forward then we will agree an estimated time scale and a regular session. We will review our work together at mutually agreed intervals and if I feel it more appropriate for a referral to be made elsewhere this is something we can discuss.
