About me

About me


I am a compassionate and down to earth person with a welcoming nature. My intention as a counsellor is to offer you my support and create a comfortable confidential space where you have a chance to be heard and feel understood. I hope together we can build a relationship based on trust so you feel safe enough to freely explore and express your experiences, thoughts and feelings without being judged. My aim is to work alongside you, while together we identify what you hope to gain from therapy, your personal needs or goals and raise self -awareness surrounding the issues that you may be facing in your life.

I am a person-centered Counsellor - which means that I hold an inner belief that each individual has resources within that when discovered and tapped into can enable a person to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. Each person is unique and therapy is different for every person and my goal is to discover what is suitable for you and tailor to your needs.

I believe that experiencing challenges and difficulties in our lives is all part of being human and it is completely natural to feel that we may need some extra support.
If you feel counselling could be beneficial for you then give me a call on the number above or contact me via e-mail to enquire or make an appointment.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy and I adhere to the ethical framework that they provide. I am committed to working safely with clients and have regular clinical supervision to promote ethical practice.

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.
