About me
Hello and thank you for viewing my profile here on the Counselling Directory. I imagine you are here as things in life have become difficult in some way? Being able to find the right person to talk to is the first step....
I can offer a confidential, accepting, safe, non-judgmental, space for you to explore the issue or issues that have brought you, as an individual to Therapy.
I work as a Humanistic Therapist, whereby an aim of the work can be to support an individual in exploring and developing a stronger, healthier sense of self, as well as being able to access and understand their feelings and to help gain a sense of meaning in life.
My experience, training and skills will enable you to discover your own inner resources for change or personal growth in your life, allowing you to reach your full potential and restore balance to your life, which is something we all need. I work with individuals covering a wide range of topics.
I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor and supervisor working in private practice in Bishops Waltham Hampshire. I am also currently Clinical Lead at Winchester College. I have extensive experience and knowledge of the following:

Member organisations
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
