About me
I offer Counselling in a calm and comfortable space so you can talk openly and freely about the issues that matter. I am a qualified Person centred BACP registered Psychotherapeutic counsellor. I work alongside you in a way that is confidential, respectful, caring, empathic and professional.
I hope you find my approach warm, relaxed and open so you feel safe enough to share the feelings and concerns that you want to explore.
Person centred counselling allows you the chance to lead the process, and talk through your concerns. I appreciate that it can be difficult to approach a counsellor and make that contact and talk about intimate or conflicting feelings. I offer face to face, online and telephone counselling sessions, but welcome communication by phone or email prior to the first session to help lessen any feelings of anxiety.
In our first session, I believe it is important that we can talk about how to work together and how the sessions can move forward at your pace. I often ask what you hope to gain from counselling and will refer other services that might be of use.
I offer time and space to work with you through particular issues or to talk through an aspect of your life to gain further insight on your situation and choices.
I have worked with a wide range of issues including;
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Grief & bereavement
- Career or lifestyle change
- Pregnancy difficulties and traumatic birth
- ADHD & Autism
- Traumatic experiences
- Cross-cultural issues
- Feeling your life or relationship is at a crossroads
- Feeling you would like to talk with someone
- Children & Young People
- Parents/Carers & Children
From experience, many people have several areas they would like to look at in counselling and the person-centred approach can help with this as you can talk about whatever you feel is relevant.
I have worked with individuals of all ages and diversity, adults, children and young people aged 11 and up.
I'm currently in private practice and work from a comfortable room near the Market Harborough town centre, with easy access by car, parking is available nearby less than 10 minutes near the Co-op and opposite a well known doctors surgery on Coventry Road.

I've been counselling for over 18 years and worked in various education settings, organisations and in private practice in Leicestershire and Northants.
I completed accredited training with the Foundation for Infant Loss and I have experience working in this field. Early or late miscarriages and stillbirth can be distressing & devastating and you might find yourself experiencing all kinds of emotion that you didn't expect and it can be difficult to reach out and seek help. These experiences can have an effect and change relationships with your partner, and extended family.
Future pregnancies can also be impacted and it can be very difficult to enjoy this time before the birth and afterwards. I have also worked with postnatal depression and trauma and talking about these feelings can help to know you do not have to go through this alone.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I have experience of working with families, individuals and siblings affected by a disability and/or Autism, rare genetic disorders or a chronic condition and those without a medical diagnosis. Coming to terms with a diagnosis has been an area I have supported people through as they come to terms with what it means for them.

Further information
Counselling for Children and Young People
Initially, I will meet with the Parent or Guardian to discuss the need for counselling and to gather background information. This is essential information and an opportunity to discuss what would best help the child access therapy before starting the sessions.
I do offer Parent-Child therapy sometimes this can work better for some families and there is not a restriction on age yet typically from 7 years old till adulthood for the child.
I also offer Parental or Guardian and sibling emotional support as it can be challenging supporting a child or family member in times of difficulty.
I can offer 1 to 1 counselling in schools and educational settings, such as primary and secondary schools. I have also worked for counselling charities and agencies and offered Parent and Child therapy and Emotional support for Parents, Guardians and Carers.
I am Person-Centred in my approach, however, I use some CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and creative play therapy exercises or techniques to help engage children and young people to lessen the pressure to talk directly to an adult about the issues and worries that are troubling them.
If you are considering counselling for your child it might help to think about the following ideas and discuss with them first before the sessions or discuss them with me in order for your child to get the most out of the experience.
- Have they had counselling before?
- Do they regularly talk about the issue?
- Have they asked for help or counselling?
- How do they feel about seeing a counsellor?
- Do they really want counselling?
It also might be worth considering your feelings about your child seeing a counsellor too. Children and young people use counselling quite differently to adults. Sometimes this means talking about feelings and issues can vary in how many sessions it might take for them to work through their emotions and this can be surprising and unpredictable. I would be happy to discuss with you.
