About me
We often do not have have the inner resources to cope with the stresses and issues that we endure in our lives, I can support you whether you are feeling lost, stuck, anxious, angry, depressed, experiencing relationship issues or trauma if any any of these resonate, I can help.
I have almost 20 years of experience as a qualified integrative counsellor and I coach. I help with issues that impact family/ children ,partners and peers. I work with adults, teenagers and young people.
I support with a multi disciplined approach ,assessing your needs, working with diverse issues including anxiety, esteem, loss, addiction , abuse, work issues and relationships .
I help facilitate the changes you wish to make for a more content life, providing a caring space to talk ,'offload'.. I assess how you form attachments and communicate, using cognitive/ strategies to identify and help break negative patterns of emotion and behaviour.
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 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.
