About me
Hello and welcome to my profile.
I am an experienced counsellor and work with adults and young people aged between 12 and 18.
My private practice is in Gomersal, with good transport links from Bradford, Leeds, Huddersfield and Wakefield.
I offer a welcoming, safe, non-judgmental space where we can talk confidentially. I will do my utmost to offer you a relationship where you will feel accepted in your entirety and valued as a human being, where we can work together for as long as you feel it to be helpful and worthwhile.
Over the last seven years I have continued my professional development primarily focusing on evidence based neuroscience and building a trauma informed counselling practice.
I hold a certificate approved by the British Psychological Society in Advanced Trauma, PTSD and Dissociation.
My therapeutic grounding is rooted in the person-centered approach, which forms the heart of our counselling journey. I also embrace an integrative approach, where we collaboratively explore various therapeutic methods to create a personalised and organic counselling experience that aligns with your unique needs and goals.
My practice ethos is to facilitate a healing relationship where you are the hero of your journey.

Member organisations
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.
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).
