About me
I am a qualified counsellor with over 12 years experience. I am a member of the BACP and adhere to their guidelines. I retrained in counselling as I whole heartedly believe it can help us transform our lives. I believe in providing a caring, non-judgemental, confidential environment where clients can explore difficult themes, and gain insight into how to become freer to make positive choices in their lives going forward.
Many of us will have times in our lives when we may need someone to talk to. Often talking to family and friends can be helpful, but it may be that this seems too difficult, or that the issues are at home? This is why talking to someone who is impartial can help.
I have worked for a large Employee Assistance Programme. I gained experience of working with trauma, through PARCS. I have also previously volunteered for the Samaritans and MIND. My Continued Professional Development is extremely important to me, and I regularly attend training and seminars
Feel free to contact me for further information if you would find that helpful. You can contact me on the telephone numbers as above. Please be aware that I may not be immediately able to answer, however I will get back to you as soon as I am available.

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