About me
I work from a person-centred approach, one of the humanistic modalities that essentially holds a positive and optimistic perspective of human nature.
Counselling is a form of talk therapy; sessions are led by you and can help with a range of personal issues and difficult life experiences.
I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space where you will be free to explore whatever is on your mind.
A non-directive, person-centred approach can be effective for exploration of thoughts, feelings and behaviour, to facilitate a better understanding of yourself.
As a qualified counsellor I am committed to helping people develop their own innate ability to resolve problems to help lead a happier and more fulfilling life.
I have a history of working with people experiencing difficulties and have spent time travelling abroad before settling down in Herefordshire.

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.
