About me
Hello, I would like to let you know that since 2021 I have been working with children and adults with the following presenting concerns: changes in family dynamics; bereavement or other loss such as work, home etc; Illness, accident or trauma, depression, anxiety, worries or stress about the past, the present or the future; Isolation, loneliness or difficulties in a social setting, bullying, body image and more.
My approach is to help you to understand yourself, challenge your thought processes, give you helpful tools to help you regulate and control your emotions and thoughts. But most of all to help you to come to a place of acceptance so that you are not living in the past, the future or generally worrying unnecessarily but, living your life.

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.

Further information
I can work with Children, Young Adults and Adults I also have group therapy.
Children & Young Adults
My holistic approach to treating mental health disorders in children and young adults is designed to help young patients develop healthy thought and behavioural patterns that will carry them forward into a healthier, happier life.
If you think your child or young adult could benefit from an initial consultation please call me to discuss feelings or symptoms that concern them, I would be delighted to help.
Adults
One to One counselling is a form of talking therapy used to help people deal with the symptoms of mental health conditions and emotional issues that stem from specific life events.
I can help you to understand your symptoms, whether they’re physical symptoms such as rapid heart rate or emotional symptoms such as stress over your relationship or family dynamic.
Group Therapy
Group therapy provides a belonging and interactive support to individuals who may be facing a difficult time in their lives.
The group provides a safe space for people to come together and share their own stories as well listen to other people’s experiences, share learning and what has helped them.
