About me
My Approach to Counselling
My training and philosophy are Person Centred.
This service seeks to support, encourage and facilitate the exploration and understanding of your thinking processes, feelings and actions to support self-acceptance and development. There is no judgement or criticism, although the process can be challenging at times.
I will work with you towards making those choices, changes or adaptations that are right for you. Your values, preferences and lifestyle will always be respected.
I work with adults, older adults and young people from the age of 13 on a one to one basis.
The Setting
The counselling setting is calm, comfortable, modern and easy to find! Free parking is available.
What will it Cost me?
I offer a free initial 20 minute telephone call. This is an opportunity for us to talk and for you to ask any questions you may have.
The cost of a 50 minute session is £42.00.
Getting in Touch
I offer online, phone and "Walk & Talk' sessions. If you would like Face to Face counselling please contact me to discuss this.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
