About me

I trained originally as an osteopath but have now retired.
During a long career, I came to feel, very strongly, that the mind and body can’t be separated and that’s why I also trained in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

People come to counselling for many reasons. Maybe you are struggling with depression, anxiety, work-stress or anger problems. Maybe you are simply feeling that you ‘don’t belong’ or ‘aren’t as important as others’. You may have suffered a bereavement or trauma in the past that still haunts and affects you. If these, or other problems, are getting in the way of your living life to its full potential, and if you have any questions to ask about therapy, do get in touch with me.

I am kind and compassionate. I will listen very carefully to what you tell me and I will never judge you. I am empathetic with people in their troubles but working together can be challenging at times. Making sense of what’s getting in the way of being our true selves can be quite hard work!

I draw upon a number of disciplines but my training is in Transactional Analysis, in which we explore together what underlies your thoughts, feelings and behaviour in different situations. TA offers a number of tools which I believe you will find useful in looking at the world and at your relationships.

Training, qualifications & experience

My training is in Transactional Analysis and my qualification is Dip. TA Couns. I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have an M.Sc. in osteopathy.

For three years I have worked in the voluntary sector, with a Carer’s support organisation and with the Climate Psychology Alliance.

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

Fees

Additional information

I offer an initial free telephone consultation of up to thirty minutes so that we can get to know a little about each other and decide if we want to work together. After that, appointments are charged at £45 per one hour session and are, at present, online or by phone.  I’m available Mondays and Tuesdays and , when Covid rules permit,  we can meet at my home in Killington, near Sedbergh.
