About me
Are you feeling anxious or depressed and just can't seem to rise above it ? Do you experience tiredness and overwhelm ? Do you feel lonely and not listened to ? Are you struggling in a relationship or with a family member ?Are you unhappy with your career path and uncertain how to navigate ? There is probably lots of reasons why you are here reading this and I know from experience and there is no shame in asking for support. Any step is better than no steps taken!
My aim is to provide you with a safe and supportive environment and guide you through gentle techniques for grounding, relief and calm. I can help you unwrap your current experiences that you don't want and help explore why your life is the way it is, why nothing is changing, or if situations do change why you don't feel happy.
Finding your "why" sometimes is the most life changing experience and mental freedom you can wish for and in turn can benefit those around you too.
These wonderful moments will really help you build the confidence to make the appropriate changes in your life and move forward and start to begin to enjoy life again and manage life challenges with more ease.
Life can sometimes not go exactly to plan either by our own or others' choices, or situations beyond our control. This can lead to unpleasant experiences and resisting unwanted emotions which can leave us sometimes feeling stuck, incapable of making sense of what's going on, but with the techniques I use and your willingness to change, then your perspective on life will have a whole new meaning for you. The results can be very freeing.
I also have experience of supporting Adults with childhood trauma (ch-PTSD) by way of the Advanced Image Rescripting technique which has been found to be very effective in relieving the symptoms of childhood post- traumatic stress.
I offer counselling for a broad range of presenting concerns, including relationship difficulties and breakdown, anxiety and depression, stress at work and post traumatic stress (PTSD). My working days are Monday - Friday 9.00 - 7.00 pm.
My practice is to arrange an initial 20 minute session, for which I can offer for free so that we can judge whether we will be able to work productively together. I welcome enquiries from both Adults and young people (17+).

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.
