About me
Welcome! In 2005, I took the plunge and retrained as a therapist. I have spent the years since expanding my knowledge in various therapies with the intention of helping clients experiencing Anxiety, Depression and/or Addiction. I am an authentic, caring person and I mainly work with clients (on and off) over long periods of time. I am devoted to helping stuck clients develop the confidence they need to start moving again. I recently undertook training in Self-Compassion, as criticism and perfectionism cause blockages in developing good self esteem.
It is essential for you to choose a therapist with whom you are comfortable. As such, please do not hesitate to drop me a line and I will give you a call within 24 hrs.
I am an Accredited member of The British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy and thus abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for Counselling Professionals http://www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework

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.
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).
