About me

We don't always have the inner resources to cope with the stresses and issues that we endure in our lives, I can support you, whether may are feeling  lost, stuck, anxious, angry, depressed, experiencing relationship issues- if any any of these resonate, I can help.

I have almost 20 years of experience as a qualified integrative counsellor and I coach too,  I am aware of many issues that impact with  family/ children, trauma  ,partners and peers. I work with adults, older teenagers and young people.

I support you with a multi-disciplined approach .  I view client's needs individually, working with diverse issues including anxiety, esteem, loss, addiction , abuse, work and relationships  .

Whatever the issue, I help facilitate the changes you wish to make for a more content life, providing a non-judgemental and caring space to talk. I am open , I listen and hear you.

My training consists of a range of modules (including psychodynamic, looking at behaviour and emotions within a humanistic framework, enabling clients to explore).  I assist clients in developing more self-awareness/use of practical tools to support you in your healing and goals you wish to achieve.

Client referrals are often made by GPs, both NHS and Private. I work authentically to understand and assist clients in their issues emotionally and practically.I offer short-/long term counselling.

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
