About me
Hi! Are you a carer struggling with the unique stresses and pressures of caring for a disabled child, young person or adult. Are you finding keeping up with endless appointments, daily therapy regimes, relentless offers of advice and the exhausting routine of each day is really getting you down? Do you wonder what happened to the old you? This wasn't the life you expected.
Have you or loved one experienced a recent diagnosis of Cancer or another medical condition and your life has been turned upside down? Have you completed all you treatment and everyone tells you to look forward but you are so exhausted you can't begin to look past the end of the day never mind getting back to normal life? What is normal?
I have worked with many people experiencing these issues and would love to support you through this very difficult period.
I also support people who are struggling with life transitions, work/academic stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, anger and lack of motivation.

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.
