About me
Counselling is not an easy option, it takes courage to trust that the person sitting opposite you will offer a safe non-judgmental space. Somewhere that you can be free to explore your issues and any problems that you have. It is important to feel comfortable with the counsellor you chose.
I offer the first session free, giving you room to check me out and to make a decision on whether or not I will be the right person for you.
Counselling is however an incredible experience and I have every faith and confidence in its ability to bring about therapeutic change, and personal growth.
I offer a confidential and secure service and work within the BACP ethical framework for the counselling profession. I have over 25 years experience and work using Person Centred theory. This means my counselling practice is tailored to your individual needs and uniqueness. I provide a safe space where you can explore any difficulties, enabling you to work through your issues and concerns. This can be very challenging but it provides a sense of increased self-worth and personal growth.
I also am qualified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing) Theory which the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends. This is a different theoretical approach where bilateral stimulation is used to process stuck memories usually resulting from some form of trauma. This can be useful for PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) which can often occur after experiences such as military combat, physical assault, rape, or car accidents.
I offer both short and long term therapy and will negotiate on cost depending on the type of counselling and duration you require. My normal charge for an hours counselling is £55. The first session is free, this can help establish if I am the right counsellor for you. I can offer online, telephone or face to face counselling.
My experience is vast, and I have worked with many people male and female and their issues over the years. My specialisms include relationships and family issues, rape, sexual violence, childhood sexual abuse, low self-worth and esteem, anxiety and depression. A host of coping mechanisms such as self-harm, eating disorders, OCD, hoarding, drugs and alcohol.
Please feel free to inquire. If I am not the best person for you I will help point you in the right direction.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.

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.
