About me
I am a trained Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I work in an integrative way and also use a variety of theories, techniques and tools. I am non-judgmental, empathetic and ensure that the clients are always at the centre of my sessions. I use a person-centred approach at all times. The approaches are CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) Humanistic, Psychodynamics and Solution Focused. I offer help with trauma, stress, anxiety, self-esteem, low mood, depression, alcohol and drug abuse. Pregnant women experiencing domestic violence and relationship issues.
I have worked with children in schools, teenagers, young people and adults.
Working with children and teenagers
When children and teenagers are struggling it can have an impact on their relationships, learning and wellbeing. Some of the issues may include:
- Anxiety
- Low self-esteem
- Depression
- Isolation
As part of my delivery, I am happy to do long term sessions based on your needs, short term, Zoom, one to one person centred sessions, telephone if clients are happy to do so and also home visits.

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.
