About me
I work in a relational style, aiming to build a strong relationship as the foundation of therapy. It is so often a struggle to find relationships that allow us to open up and really hear and meet our needs. As a result, I try to notice things like body language, tone and instinct to understand what is happening but also to make sense of what may have happened in the past. I like to work with the stories and scripts of life, those repeating patterns that seem hard to break through. I believe exploring these can shed light on the reasons why someone can get stuck. I am non-judgmental and pride myself on not being shocked or surprised by anything. I think it is essential a person has a space where they can say anything without fear of being judged.

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.

Additional information
The first appointment will be an initial assessment session. During this session we explore together what brings you to therapy and what you are looking to explore and understand. It is an opportunity for us both to establish whether we feel I am someone who can support you.
I charge £50 - £70 for this initial session and all subsequent sessions; all sessions are 50 minutes long.
I will aim to review our work after each block of 6 sessions to see how we feel the work is going. I am aware therapy can be a taxing and expensive process and it is important to review this to make sure you are well supported.
Fees are made payable by cash or cheque on the day of your counselling session or by bank transfer 24 hours in advance.
I currently offer limited appointments which can be organised upon contact.
