About me
Asking for help can be really difficult for many people. Deciding to contact a Therapist can be a daunting step to take.
I offer a calm approach and a space for clients to feel safe & heard, an understanding and compassionate approach to what you are wishing to share.
During the past 12 years of private practice, I have felt honoured by my clients trust, honesty and bravery in the variety of problems that we have worked with.
I have come to the conclusion that we are all quite similar in our suffering, we all suffer, and healing is possible.
If something is feeling wrong, it could be loneliness, a betrayal, low confidence, an affair, bereavement, loss or relationship difficulty. Feeling sad, unheard, unseen. past Trauma, anxieties, low mood or any other sense that something is not right and holding you back in life, why not try counselling, you do not have to commit to anymore than one session at a time.
My aim is to work with you, at a pace that suits you, within your budget and with what you wish to disclose and when that feels right for you.
Your safety and stability is always considered first.
After 15 years of counselling clients, I have met a variety of clients, with a range of problems affecting their lives, most having started in relationships. Yet, We are all human, we all suffer, and it is in connection with ourselves and a safe other that we heal.
Counselling provides a safe and welcoming relationship, a place to work through any issues, big or small, current or historical, that challenge our happiness.
Experiencing difficult thoughts and feelings, can affect our behaviours and leave us feeling frustrated, alone and confused.
Are You feeling alone, unheard, unsure in your life?
Clients have told me that Counselling was a worthy investment into feeling stronger and happier.
I use an integrative approach to Counselling to consider the whole life of the client, to help you become the best version of you. An Integrative Approach draws from a range of psychological theories, to enable tailoring to individual needs.
I have worked with a diverse range of clients, presenting with a variety of difficulties. Many clients have told me that Counselling changed their lives beyond what they initially imagined. My job is to help you to feel relaxed in a non judgemental environment where you can work to discover the way to the life that you truly want.
Finding the right Counsellor for you is an important first step. Research has found that the Therapeutic relationship is a key factor to enable change. I offer a half priced first session face to face and I am also offering online sessions so that I can work in whichever way suits you. Thereafter, the session pace and direction are led by you, with help to focus on the presenting problem.

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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
