About me

I am committed to helping people understand themselves, find meaning and live better lives, and believe that therapy is most impactful when the fit is right between therapist and client.

Whatever you are going through right now may be weighing you down. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression or loss I will tailor the therapy around your current situation and what you want to work on. You don’t have to come to therapy with any of the answers, or even know what you want to change. Just by being open to the idea of talking and exploring your thoughts is enough to begin.

Asking for help is an act of strength not weakness. Sometimes we struggle to make sense of what is going on in our lives, when perhaps that spark or joy we once experienced seems to have faded. My aim is for you to regain a sense of optimism, by helping you to work through issues that you believe are holding you back.

Training, qualifications & experience

My training was in Integrative Psychosynthesis, a humanistic based approach. This means I draw on elements of different therapies, the main focus being on you and what you choose to bring.

I have experience in a charitable setting, the NHS and private practice. I am an accredited member of the BACP.   I have over 20 years experience in this field.

I abide by the ethical framework of the BACP.

I hold an enhanced DBS check.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
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.

Accredited register membership

Key details

DBS check

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
