About me
Life can be tough and sometimes we need a little support. I can help you to unravel your thoughts and feelings and we can build a plan together to help you move forward. My style is warm, empathic, collaborative and empowering. I work with individuals and couples and can provide insight, support and guidance, to help you find ways to cope and make positive changes.
I'm a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and have over ten years' experience. I work with a broad range of mental health issues, emotional difficulties and combination/complex issues. I work with trauma, childhood issues, relationship issues, grief, loss, bereavement, anxiety, depression, low self esteem, stress, changes and transitions (including dementia and menopause), ADHD, PTSD and many more. I've worked in GP Surgeries (NHS), Mental Health services and HM Prison Service.
Finding the right therapist is an important step. I offer an free introductory call, for us to discuss your needs and see if I am the right therapist for you.

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.
