About me
With 21 years of experience as a Psycotherapeutic Counsellor, I provide confidential counselling and psychotherapy for individuals, including adults, young people aged 14 and over and couples. My approach is integrative, where I use a combination of therapies to inform how I can help you, depending on what you need. I have worked successfully with many hundreds of individual clients, from a varied range of backgrounds and with different types of issues, over the past 20 years.
An initial telephone call can help decide if we could work well together, feel free to text, call or email me to set up a call and we can decide together whether to proceed to a face to face assessment appointment.
I see clients in either my room in Winchcombe, (not far from Cheltenham) or online or at my room in a village 2 miles from Evehsam and 4 miles from Broadway. Both locations are accessible from many parts of Gloucestershire/Worcestershire including Broadway, Stow on the Wold and beyond. I offer a wide range of appointment times to suit you.
Please text, email or call me to arrange a free initial 20 minute telephone call to explore brief details about what you need and if I can help. We can then set up a first appointment, face to face or online.
At times when it feels appropriate for our work together I may offer creative ways of working including art therapy.
Contact me to arrange a suitable time to talk briefly about what you need.
Supervision is also available for qualified counsellors and therapists with 2 years or more experience. In person in Winchcombe, near Cheltenham or online via Zoom.

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.
The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
