About me
I enjoy working with people and helping them work towards achieving their goals, it is fulfilling to hear when clients have found the counselling process beneficial when going through difficult times in their life, or they have discovered the tools to feel empowered and ready to move forward. I have been described by others as empathetic, kind and a good listener. I offer a warm, non judgemental and confidential environment, where you are welcome to share any issues that are on your mind, exploring them at your own pace.
Experiencing difficulties in life can stem from a variety of issues, emotions can feel overwhelming and have an impact on how you live your life, so having the space in therapy to explore and reflect on your feelings/thoughts, releasing them from your mind can feel freeing, bringing a sense of clarity and new perspective, as a result, this can help build inner strength and peace enabling you to cope better with your daily life and feel more content and balanced.
I work with clients using the integrative approach which enables me to draw from different modalities such as CBT, Psychodynamic and Person centred, I combine these to assist clients and their individual presenting issues, implementing them when needed.

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.
