About me
I am a qualified counsellor specialised in trauma, bereavement, depression and anxiety. I have experience working with young people and adults.
I work from a humanistic perspective but I also use a variety of therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and transactional analysis.
I help clients to identify goals and potential solutions to problems which cause emotional turmoil; to seek and to improve communication and coping skills, strengthen self-esteem, and promote behaviour change and optimal mental health.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a degree in Psychology, a Level 3 Certificate in Counselling and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
I have experience in working with adults and young people who suffers from depression and anxiety. I have also worked with adults and young people affected by alcohol and drugs.
During my studies I volunteered for Kemp Hospice and North Worcestershire Bereavement to support adults and young people through all stages of bereavement.
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).
