About me
Taking the first step to begin counselling can seem daunting, but my aim is to support you on your journey to positive well-being.
Within New View Well-Being, my goal is to create a space and time that is focused on you, where we can work together to address your concerns and achieve your goals, at a pace that is comfortable for you. I am a BACP and NCPS Accredited, Integrative Counsellor, which means that I aim to adapt my approach so it is tailored to meet your needs. I have more than 20 years of experience working with children and young people, and, as a qualified Youth and Community Worker, I incorporate my youth work and counselling skills to offer a professional and impactful service that makes a positive difference to the lives of young people.
Within New View Well-Being you can be reassured of a non-judgemental, warm and welcoming space to support you on your journey of self-discovery.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
