About me

On-line counselling and coaching programmes:

Coaching programmes include Menopause Coaching (a great solution if you know you don´t need counselling but you do want ´something´ during this time)  Couples Coaching (focused solutions for communication issues, niggling habits, or changes in your relationship), and Transitional Coaching (focused solutions for life´s changes- from promotions to relocations Pregnancy to divorce - managing expectations and building mechanisms to cope with change). Life Coaching (focused support with career, family, health). 

Counselling for: I offer counselling for a variety of situations, including; anxiety, emotional eating, relationship breakdowns, low self-esteem, depression, low self-confidence, family issues.

If you are not sure whether counselling is for you, maybe coaching will help. I combine coaching and counselling to offer a more solution focused approach.

I am an experienced psychodynamic counsellor (more than15 years). I have worked for the NHS and also in private practice and can offer you EMDR and solutions focused approaches to support you in a variety of of ways. 

You can book an initial 50 minute consultation with no obligation. This let`s you get the feel of an on-line session and how we would work together, before committing to further sessions.

Please contact me to book your session and take the first step to being free from emotional and mental strain.

I offer a choice of ON-LINE therapies which include: psychodynamic psychotherapy/counselling, analytical hypnotherapy, EMDR and a variety of coaching services. I specialise in emotional eating and have a ten week emotional eating programme.

Member organisations

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.
