By customizing our meetings to meet your needs, my goal is to build trust, respect your boundaries, and create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we can identify the path you wish to take and the most effective methods to achieve your goals. Witnessing the positive impact counselling can have is incredibly rewarding.
By tailoring our sessions to your needs, I aim to cultivate trust, work within your comfort zone, and provide a secure space for you to reflect on your thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviours. Together, we can determine your desired direction and the most effective strategies to achieve your objectives. I find immense joy in witnessing the transformative impact that counselling can bring. I also receive referrals from public sector groups including police authorities and the Foreign Office to work with people who have suffered from trauma at work and human trafficking.
I offer my sessions in a warm, friendly and non-judgemental environment, our first telephone session would be free as we determine whether we can work together to achieve your desired outcomes.
I offer flexibility and can hold session face to face, remotely or via telephone.

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.
