About me

I understand that reaching out and seeking support can seem daunting particularly if you have never experienced counselling before. It's for this reason that I work to create a trusting and confidential alliance with you in a safe and non-judgemental environment. Whether you are struggling to cope in the present, troubled by events from your past or anxious about the future, I will support you so that you are able to explore these issues and enable you regain control of your life, allowing you to move forward in a way that feels right for you.

I offer long and short term counselling to individuals drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic and person centred models and tailor my approach to support you in the most effective way.

I work with adults on a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression addictions and relationship worries. I also have experience of working in highly pressurised environments, where I witnessed the impact of workplace stress on both the individuals affected and those closest to them. In addition, I have specialist training and experience working with people struggling with addictions such a alcohol, drugs and gambling

I have also been a Samaritan where I had the privilege of working as a member of the training team supporting and mentoring new recruits.

If you believe now is the time to make a change, I offer a free telephone consultation of up to 20 minutes so that you can ask questions and I can explain how I work. You can then decide if you would like to make your first appointment.

As the great philosopher Epictetus said "Nothing truly stops you, nothing truly holds you back, for your own will is always within your control".

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

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).
