About me

How can I help you?

I work with a range of issues including self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression and trauma

I have a particular interest in working with bereavement/complex bereavement e.g. bereavement through suicide or child/baby loss.

Where does the therapy happen?

·         In person at Kingsbridge, Quay House or Newton Abbot, Kingdom House.

·         Online wherever you are via Microsoft Teams

·         By telephone

What would we do in therapy?

We  would use various tools and techniques designed to meet your unique needs. This may include creative methods such as working with cards, photos and everyday objects. (It is important to note that being creative is not about your artistic abilities). We may also look into how childhood relationships have shaped your current relationships and/or thinking and behaviour patterns.

What would be the benefits of our therapy work?

As well as emotional support and a space for you to be heard, you are likely to gain a deeper understanding and self-awareness resulting in increased confidence and self-esteem.

My passion has always been to give people hope and empower them  to overcome their issues.

What next?

If you would like to book a 30 minute free assessment session please call me or e-mail me directly. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

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.

Although my counselling room in Kingsbridge is not wheelchair accessible, I do have the option of using another room that is wheelchair accessible, this is on the ground floor of the building. My counselling room in Newton Abbot is accessible

Additional languages

I don't speak another language, although I have clients with different backgrounds and cultures.
