About me
Counselling can help you reduce your stress and discover more balance, happiness and fulfilment in your life.
Change flows to understanding and acceptance, not from criticism.
Counselling is an emphatic, accepting process in which you will be deeply heard, helped in the clarification of your problem or situation, and facilitated in working towards a solution. It is safe and confidential and protected with BACP ethical guidelines. It occurs on a one to one basis for appointments of one hour duration, usually weekly or fortnightly.
Counselling and psychotherapy can help with any situation which has led you to feel anxious, low in mood, stressed or frustrated. They can help you see things from a new perspective and to find alternative solutions to your difficulties. They can also be used for personal development and transformation to facilitate changes in patterns of thinking and behaviour that may not serve you in your life. A person does not have to be in crisis in order to benefit from counselling and psychotherapy.
Clients have frequently reported a lift in mood, reduced levels of anxiety, increased energy and optimism, a new outlook and perspective on their problem and life in general.

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.
