How I can help you
Life can be difficult at times and our problems and anxieties may leave us feeling confused and struggling with negative thoughts and emotions. I have a friendly, warm, down to earth approach that provides a nurturing environment for you to explore your concerns and enable you to implement strategies and approaches that will help you move forward positively with your life.
Working together in an atmosphere of trust and non-judgement I will support your journey by listening attentively and sensitively to help you gain greater self-awareness about what is preventing you from feeling better about yourself and investigate changes you may wish to make. I draw upon techniques and theory from both CBT and person-centred therapies to ensure the counselling experience is personalised to your specific needs and situation.
I offer face-to-face counselling in comfortable, professional and confidential surroundings in Rodney Street, Liverpool and also in Churchtown, Southport.
My background and experience in Counselling
I work for a charity on a part time basis providing counselling to a diverse client base as well as having extensive experience in private practice. I am well versed in supporting clients with issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, bereavement, and identity issues. I also provide counsel for couples who are experiencing challenges in their relationship.
I am interested and professionally qualified in the relationship between physical and mental well-being and will be able to provide you with informed up to date support that will benefit you holistically.
What is the next step?
It can be daunting to reach out and ask for help, but sharing your concerns with a friendly, caring professional is the first step to reducing negative feelings and bring about positive change. I offer a free thirty-minute telephone consultation to help you decide whether you would feel comfortable working with me.

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.
