About me
There are times in our lives when we're not OK, when we believe that no one understands our struggles, that we alone should fix them, or that things will never change. But it needn't be like this.
I specialise in supporting people experiencing:
• various forms of anxiety (including social, health, stress, work-place)
• low-mood and depression
• effects of trauma
• low self-esteem
• addictions and substance dependency
• relationship issues.
As an MBACP and UKCP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor I can support in altering your limiting thoughts, feelings and behaviours so you can make sense of your past experiences, find new perspectives, learn to cope with your present struggles, regain your confidence and look forward to a rewarding future.
I see clients face-to-face at my practice room in North Chelmsford (Essex) or via online video calls (e.g. Zoom). On my website www.ThinkFeelAct.Life you can read more about me and my practice – click the 'visit website' button at the top of this page or go to http://www.ThinkFeelAct.Life
I offer a free, initial 30-minute phone consultation (no follow-up obligation) so you can get a feel for how we'd work together. I welcome you to contact me (and I'll reply within hours on the same day).
Please be aware that sessions are between 9am - 5pm weekdays only, and depending on availability. There are no evening or weekend sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a MBACP and UKCP qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist with a Dip. Psychotherapeutic Counselling. I'm in Advanced Clinical Training in an MSc and CTA (Certified Transactional Analysis) with Middlesex University. I've previously practiced at MCPS in West London, Centre of Change in Croydon (South London), and CGL STARS (South-End Treatment and Recovery Services, in Essex)
I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), registered with UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy), the International Association of Relational Transactional Analysis (IARTA) and the European Association of Transactional Analysis (EATA). I abide by all of their ethical codes, which can be found on their respective websites.
Member organisations
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.

TESTIMONIALS
"I really feel like I'm being looked after by you, and that I'm really looking after myself too. It's like a battle in my head has ended where everyone has put their weapons down, and now I'm just left with the feeling of serenity."
"You gave me back my life, the life that now I'm not afraid to live."
"I could write a million words to say thank you, and I'm so grateful to have had you help me through the hardest time in my life."
"The insights you gave me are so helpful and you supported me throughout. Now I feel excited and so sure of myself. Thank you."
LOCATION
My consulting room is in the quiet and discreet surrounds of a residential area on north Chelmsford. There's off-street parking on a private driveway and local bus services within walking distance.
CONFIDENTIALITY
What you bring to therapy is personal and can also be profoundly private. Ensuring your confidentiality is my upmost importance so that you can explore all aspect of your self freely, safely, and without judgement.
