About me
I've worked in Private Practice, for mental health charities and in schools for many years as a counsellor and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I am passionate about working one to one with people, focusing on what's important, helping to improve wellbeing, achieve your goals, gain a more balanced outlook and rewarding life.
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 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.
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.

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.
