About me
“When someone really hears you without passing judgement on you, without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mould you, it feels damn good…” Carl Rogers
I am a qualified Humanistic Integrative counsellor, providing short-term and long-term counselling to adults and young people. I use aspects of multiple approaches and modalities such as Person Centred, Gestalt, Existentialism and Transactional Analysis to give us a variety of perspectives, interpretations and tools to work with.
My role is not to diagnose or fix you (you are not broken!), but I will offer a confidential, non-judgemental and safe space where we can help you become more open and curious about yourself and your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I graduated from Dunamis Therapy College in Crowborough, East Sussex and hold a BACP Accredited Diploma in Humanistic Creative Counselling.
Alongside my private practice, I work as a bereavement counsellor at St. Wilfrid’s Hospice in Eastbourne, where I support adults, young people and children who are dealing with the loss of a loved one. I also work in a local college, supporting adults and young people in their academic as well as social and emotional well-being. Previously I supported primary school children with neurodiverse conditions and home trauma, assisting them in their educational and social integration.
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.

Additional information
Sessions last 50 minutes and the number of sessions can be fixed in advance or open-ended, depending on your needs and how you like to work. This approach can be discussed, reviewed and adjusted at any time.
Counselling is very personal and it is important to find someone you trust and feel you can work with. I therefore offer a free 15-minute phone assessment for you to get more information about how I work, ask questions and see if I am the right counsellor for you.
Note that if you want to cancel an appointment I require 48 hours notice; otherwise, you will still need to pay for any sessions missed.

“Part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself to let go of the limiting stories you’ve told yourself about who you are so that you aren’t trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you’ve been telling yourself about your life.” Lori Gottlieb
