About me
I am a BACP accredited counsellor and have been practising for around 10 years. I have spent much of that time working in a primary care setting (short-term NHS counselling) and have also worked in universities and the charity sector. I have supported clients with a range of issues, such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationships, self-esteem, abuse, working through transitional life experiences, and many others. I also have experience of supporting people who have been affected by domestic violence and sexual violence.
Counselling offers a non-judgemental space where you can gain a deeper understanding of the problems you are facing. You may know what you want to work on, or you may need some time to understand what is making you feel this way. Counselling allows you the opportunity to process, reflect, and understand the impact of your experiences, in a confidential space, where you are listened to with compassion and respect. As you gain a deeper understanding of what you are feeling and experiencing you can start to think about any changes you would like to make and how you would like to move forward in your life.
I am trained as a person-centred counsellor but work integratively, using tools and techniques from other therapeutic models when they may be helpful. I welcome clients of any sexuality, gender, ethnicity, ability, religion or age.

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.

Further information
It is important that you feel that your counsellor is someone who you can build a good relationship with, and this can be hard to determine from an online profile. I offer a free, no obligation, 15-minute call to allow you to ask any questions about the way I work and to get a sense about whether I am the right counsellor for you. I will also provide you with some information about how I work and how you can book a session if you wish.
