About me
I am currently unavailable.
An accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist; registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy who are regulated by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.
I am a qualified counsellor and supervisor with experience of working with a wide variety of issues including anxiety and relationship issues. Life learning and personal development is an ongoing journey.
I believe the key to successful counselling is the relationship that is built with the therapist you choose. It is important that you trust in your first 'felt sense' whether counselling feels right for you, discovering if you feel comfortable and at ease with me and my counselling approach. The things that I believe are important are:
* The relationship and trust that builds between individual and therapist
* Being heard, understood and not judged
* Feeling safe when sharing concerns
* Gaining a greater sense of wellbeing
As a Humanistic counsellor I believe that we are all unique - and that when we want to make changes in our lives we choose to seek a way of making those changes. It takes courage and determination to acknowledge the need for change and make a decision to begin counselling.
Counselling can help give you the space to explore feelings in an environment that is non judgemental and separate from all that is going on in your life. It can help in relationships or situations that leave you hurt, confused or doubting yourself. It may also help you to cope with events that have completely changed your original hopes of your life. I am happy to discuss any issues or areas which you would like to talk about. I am a caring person currently providing online sessions which last 55 minutes. Providing time and space for you to explore your feelings, thoughts and behaviours achieving a greater sense of well-being, building confidence and reaching your own decisions. My sessions are collaborative , exploring together ensuring you feel at ease.
Many times, I have been approached by parents/ carers whom are struggling or worrying about young people (family members). I have found that my many years of experience of working with young people, parents and being a parent has helped me support individuals in such situations; in this situation, you may wish to book a single sessions and this too can be helpful.
Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to book an initial session.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
