I currently hold three qualifications in Person-centred Counselling and have gained a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I also hold a Diploma in Cognitive behaviour therapy(CBT) this training enables me to offer an inclusive counselling service combining therapies as appropriate.

I have training in working with couples and relationships and will work with you to try and find a resolution to your difficulties.

Respecting and valuing people's feelings is central to my beliefs as a counsellor and in everyday life. People come to counselling for all different reasons. I have had the experience of working with clients on a wide range of issues.I know the first step you make towards Counselling may be daunting but I can assure you that you will be supported step by step. I can offer a warm understanding and respectful space for you to share whatever issues are current for you one step at a time.

How can Counselling help me?

Personal Counselling is a way to talk about your situation, and your feelings of anxiety and uncertainty, in a safe, secure and positive environment.  It doesn't have to be a long-term commitment, but 'saying it aloud' makes it real and also relieves the pressure of carrying your concerns alone.   In this confidential, compassionate environment you have the space and time to explore what is going on for you.

What is person-centred counselling?

In Person centred counselling, the counsellor works at creating the right environment in which a client feels able to look at themselves and develop a greater understanding of their own thoughts, feelings and meanings. The counsellor is not there to analyse the client or give them advice, but instead to be along side them, supporting them and helping them to explore their own issues, with the belief that the client with come to find their own 'answers'.

What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a short-term therapy that is more directive and focuses on a very specific set of behaviours. Techniques are used to help people better understand their thoughts and feelings which are leading to potentially problematic behaviors. The counsellor works alongside the client in setting goals and uses homework assignments between therapy sessions.CBT has a range of uses, but it can be particularly effective when treating phobias, anxiety, addictions, and depression.

What next?

After our initial phone conversation, we can agree on a suitable time and date to meet.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and adhere to their code of Ethics.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
