About me
Hello,
I'm a BACP-Accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, working with individuals and couples.
Whatever your situation, therapy can help. We're all capable of developing understanding and of change, and finding the right therapist can be the beginning of that process.
My clients bring varied stories, experiences, and aims. You may know what you're seeking, or you may feel that you're stuck or lost in some way, and need to explore what's behind that feeling, understand it, and find ways forward.
I work with individuals experiencing a wide range of issues, including loss and bereavement, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, and questions around purpose and identity.
I also offer couples and relationship therapy, supporting partners to understand difficult patterns, improve communication, and recover connection - or to reach a respectful ending.
Training, qualifications & experience
- Diploma (BACP-Accredited) - Humanistic Integrative Counselling
- Diploma (CPCAB & COSRT-Accredited) - Couples & Relationship Therapy
In addition to my private practice, I've worked with Sussex Community Counselling, offering short-term counselling to adults and young people. This role included working with clients referred to the Survivors of Suicide service.
I have also worked as part of the team offering bereavement counselling at St Wilfrid's Hospice, Eastbourne.
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.
