About me

I have 15 years of experience working as a counsellor in private practice and agencies.  I provide counselling for depression, anxiety, abuse, post-natal depression, infant loss, trauma, stress and other emotional issues. I work with adults and couples.

I am an Integrative Therapist which means I tailor counselling for your individual needs, which may include Cognitive Behavioural Techniques (CBT) but will always be reflective and safe. Sometimes our life history and early relationships influence how we see ourselves as adults, and whilst we are not defined by the past counselling can help to disentangle the past from the present and the future. Understanding can then lead to resolution and stepping forward in your life. There is hope.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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
