About me
I offer a safe and calm space where you will be listened to without judgement. I work with empathy and care to help you explore whatever has brought you to therapy.
You may have worries about a current issue at work or home, have anxieties about a future change or there may be an unresolved past experience you wish to explore. Sharing how you feel with a counsellor can help unpick areas where you feel stuck, support you to understand yourself better and help find ways to move forward through difficult feelings and situations.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have completed a 3 year BACP accredited course in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am a registered member of the BACP. I deliver my practice in line with the BACP Ethical Framework.
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.

Further information
I offer an initial 30 minute in person session for a fee of £30. We will discuss what has brought you to counselling and what your hopes are for being in therapy. It is important to find a connection with your counsellor, building trust is key to progress in therapy. If you wish to continue after this initial session, and if I feel I can help you, further sessions will be offered weekly at the regular fee of £50.
