Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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.

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

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.

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.

Further information

My practice is rooted in a trauma‑informed, holistic approach, blending professional counselling with complementary therapies to support emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. I work with individuals, groups, and organisations, always prioritising accessibility, inclusivity, and safety.

I integrate guided breathwork, relaxation, and mindful practices into sessions, alongside traditional counselling methods, to help clients feel grounded and renewed. Reiki healing and Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) are also available as gentle, supportive options for those seeking balance and connection.

I am proud to carry the Armed Forces Covenant, demonstrating my commitment to supporting past and present members of the British Armed Forces and their families. This reflects my wider ethos of care, ensuring that every client feels respected, supported, and empowered.

At the heart of my work is a simple guiding principle:
Come as you are. Leave a little lighter.
