About me
My aim is to provide you with a safe, consistent, and supportive relationship within which we can explore together the issues that are most pressing for you. I will offer honest feedback when I can regarding the key patterns in your life, and encourage you, if you are willing, to uncover links with your past that may shed new light on your present.
What I Offer
I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults on an individual basis. The time frame can be short or longer term, depending on what you want and need. We can talk about this when we meet.
Either way, I offer sessions of 60 minutes in length, at the same time each week, and in the same location. This consistency is an important part of the process. Availability permitting, I am able to offer sessions during the week, both daytime and some evenings.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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
Reduced Fees
If you are struggling with money right now, please let me know. I may be able to offer you more of a reduced fee. Provided that I have space available in my practice, I do believe in offering a limited number of lower cost therapy places. Don't let money worries get in the way of thinking about seeking help.
Initial Appointment
I suggest meeting for an initial appointment in which you can ask me any questions that you may have, and get a feel for how we might work together. It’s also a chance for me to find out a bit about you, and what has brought you to counselling and psychotherapy. This appointment lasts for 30 minutes and is free of charge.
Individual Sessions
Following the initial appointment, arranging a regular weekly session time on the same day each week would be the next step. These sessions last for 60 minutes. Some people prefer to arrange more than one session per week, and this can also work out well. It really depends upon your budget, the time you have available, and how quickly and how deeply you would like to work.

Further information
Speak to your G.P.
Before deciding to come for counselling privately, remember that you can also speak to your GP about what counselling services may be available free of charge in your area. Alternatively, your workplace, university, college, or a voluntary/charitable organisation may also be able to help.
Shop around
I would also like to encourage you to meet with one or two other counsellors as well. You can compare our styles and approaches, and most importantly, notice how you feel when you are with us. It's important to feel as though you have made a good choice.
