About me
You may have a clear sense of what’s brought you to counselling, or you might just know that something isn’t right and struggle to put it into words.
I work with a lot of men who are used to sorting things out on their own. This is a space to say the things that feel difficult, or even impossible, to say anywhere else, without judgement, and without having to have it all figured out first.
By talking about what's happening in your life and how it affects you, we can begin to make sense of it and work out what you want to do next.
Sometimes this means focusing on a specific issue over a short period of time. At other times, it can involve looking more deeply at long-standing patterns, relationships, or challenges.
We might explore how past experiences are shaping your current life, how stress shows up in your body, or how the cultural, religious, or social environment you grew up in has influenced you.
I'm a BACP registered, fully qualified therapist with experience counselling adults aged 18–80 from a wide range of backgrounds, in both the NHS and community counselling services.
I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone call where you can ask any questions and see whether working together feels right for you. There’s no obligation to continue.
Training, qualifications & experience
Before training as a therapist, I was a manager in a large organisation. This gave me a first-hand understanding of the pressures many people face at work and in life — the weight of responsibility, how we respond to stress, and the challenges involved in navigating change.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy from the Minster Centre, one of Europe’s leading training institutes for integrative psychotherapy.
My integrative approach means I work flexibly and adapt to what will best support 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.
