About me
I am a qualified integrative counsellor with experience offering emotional support as a bereavement counsellor within a hospice setting and experience offering carer support at a carers trust foundation. I have over 15 years’ experience in the health and social care sector working as a registered General nurse (RGN). My experience helps me to understand the pressures of elderly care, palliative care and juggling work life, family life and self-care. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to suit your needs, as I feel one approach does not fit with everyone. Whilst adapting different approaches to suit you and your needs I lean towards a person-centred approach meaning you are at the centre of everything I do. I will empower you to be your true self and can empower you using CBT techniques. I provide a safe, honest and empathic space to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours without judgement. You can come and talk to me about anything that is making life difficult for you, I am here to listen, help you offload and clarify you thinking. I can support you find strength within your situation to cope with day to day life. I will enable you to feel seen, heard and safe.
I specialise in grief work, adapting to loss and anticipatory grief. I offer carer support, support with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and support with the changes of the aging process.

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.
