About me

Are you questioning life, struggling, feeling lost, wondering what is wrong and why does it feel I'm not getting it quite right!

I can help by offering tailored therapy, which safely integrates ideas and strategies, which incorporates your autonomy, beliefs, needs and goals to support you in your personal journey in dealing with the issues that are troubling you.

I am open to work with whatever you bring and my experiences include;

- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression
- ADHD
- Autism
- OCD
- Low self esteem and self confidence
- Relationship issues
- Stress
- Trauma
- Bereavement and Loss
- Feeling sad and loneliness

I am trained to safely integrate ideas and strategies from recognised therapeutic approaches and will do so to ensure that our work together is appropriate for you.

You're not alone and within us we all have the need to be connected with ourselves and sometimes we struggle feeling connected to others, to feel okay and have our own sense of purpose. We live in a fast pace changing world, which doesn't always support us, when we wish to be truly heard, at our pace and to have the private time to reflect and make changes.

Takes courage to say I need support. You've taken that first step by looking for a counsellor and I'm hoping you will let me be part of your personal journey. Where I can help you find that inner voice that can talk freely about what is causing you heartache, distress, fear. Whilst identifying strategies and building on your resilience.

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.

Accredited register membership
