About me
Learning to understand yourself can dramatically change the way you meet the world. It did for me which is why I am passionate about supporting you in your journey. Whatever has brought you here, having someone to stand with you as you step into this space can be one of the most powerful things you do for yourself. I see this as a collaboration and will step into this space with you with compassion, patience and will tailor the experience to what you want from counselling.
I work with people at various stages of their life, working with a wide range of life experiences. There's no fixed agenda and no predetermined path. How we work will be shaped entirely by what you want from counselling. As an integrative practitioner, I adapt to you as an individual. Theories provide a language that help with our self-understanding, they’re a way that we can communicate irrespective of experience. I work with a range of those theories, drawing on a person-centred approach, cognitive behaviour therapy and psychodynamic theory. Regardless of the theory, I’ll support you in finding a space where you can make informed choices is how you approach your life and relationships.
My own path to this work happened when I was searching for something through outdoor adventure; in movement, in challenge, in the next horizon. I thought if I pushed just that little bit harder, I might find it, but it was only when I turned the exploration inward that I began to glimpse a sense of freedom through having choice in how I responded and related to the world around me.
I’d love to support you on a journey of self-inquiry and reflection. This could be a challenging journey, but in the same breath one of the most transformational.
If you’d like to take this step, we would start with a free 30-minute discovery call. This is a chance to get to know one another, explore what brings you to therapy, and see whether working with me feels like the right fit for you.
If it feels appropriate, you can then choose to begin counselling and book your first full session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a registered member of the BACP, having completed a CPCAB Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling at Warrington and Vale Royal College, with earlier studies at North Lakes Counselling and Training.
I am committed to my own development and regularly engage in CPD. My particular interests in consciousness, neuroscience and the relationship between inner and outer experience directly inform how I work with clients.
My experience spans several organisations and settings. I have worked with families navigating children's end-of-life care, supported young people through a crisis intervention programme, and worked within a carers service, a Hospice at Home service, and a mental health support charity.
My practice is open to anyone ready to do this work, whatever their background or life experience.
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.
