About me

I am experienced in working in Private Practice, for charities and in schools. I am passionate about working with people one to one, focusing on what's important for you, helping to improve your wellbeing, achieve your goals, gain a more balanced outlook and rewarding life. 

I work face to face in Ringwood, Hampshire, and by telephone or video call (Zoom) - you choose how we work together. Contact me and we can arrange a FREE 20 minutes telephone conversation to talk about what's going on for you and how I might be able to help.

Life can be tough and you might be experiencing a difficult time. Reaching out and seeking help can be hard, but are the first steps to getting the support you're looking for. Maybe you're feeling down, have anxiety, or going through a life transition such as a break up or bereavement. I can help you make sense of what you're going through and feel comfort and relief through this understanding.  I offer a safe, non-judgmental space and time for you to explore and understand your situation better.  

I am a fully Registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to the BACP Code of Ethics and I am committed to ongoing personal and professional development.

Training, qualifications & experience

I work with adults and young people dealing with life changes, bereavement, loss, anxiety, depression, stress, anger and relationship problems.

I specialise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Person Centred Counselling. I also draw on other types of counselling such as, solution focused and mindfulness. We can work in a variety of ways to suit you and your needs.  I am a qualified one to one counsellor.

I believe that working together you will be able to find the way forward that is right for you and I can help you focus on what you may like to change and understand better.

Member organisations

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.
