Integrative Counsellor and Supervisor Reg.MBACP

About me

I am a dedicated and empathetic counsellor with a deep commitment to supporting the emotional wellbeing and personal growth of both adults and young people. My work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. With experience across schools and adult counselling settings, I have developed a versatile and Integrative approach that allows me to adapt to the unique needs of each client.

In my work with adults, I focus on helping individuals navigate life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and self-esteem issues. I draw on integrative and humanistic frameworks to empower clients to understand their patterns, build resilience and make positive, lasting changes. Establishing trust and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship. 

My work in schools has given me valuable insight into the emotional challenges faced by children and adolescents. I have supported pupils dealing with bullying, family difficulties, academic pressures, and identity concerns. My approach with younger clients integrates creative and play-based techniques, allowing them to express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe.

I am committed to ongoing professional development and reflective practice, ensuring that my counselling work remains ethical, evidence-informed, and client-led. My goal is to continue developing my skills and contribute to creating supportive environments where both adults and young people can flourish emotionally and psychologically.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
