About me
I have a broad range of experience in the delivery of professional one to one or group counselling services.
My experience includes working collaboratively with people struggling with addictions, anxiety and depression and bereavement. I am also very experienced in supporting people, off all ages, trying to cope with suicidal idealization and self-harm.
I am primarily a Person Centred, Integrative Counsellor, enhanced with additional qualifications and experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy allowing me to work with a range of common mental health problems.
I also provide Clinical Supervision to trainee and experienced counsellors together with coaching/mentoring support for those whether in study or challenging work environments.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
