About me

Sometimes in life, we can feel like something just isn't right, which can be troubling or upsetting, leaving us to feel lost. Speaking to a counsellor can help us to better understand these feelings and how to get to where we want to be.

I appreciate that deciding to come along for counselling and which Therapist to choose can sometimes be a difficult decision to make, so let me tell you a little about myself.

I am a Qualified Psychotherapist who works in an Integrative way, employing a wide range of approaches tailored to your individual requirements and unique set of circumstances.

I am experienced in working with individual Clients and with Groups in a non judgemental and compassionate way.

I offer a supportive, confidential service that is empathic and tailored to your needs. We will work at your pace in a collaborative and respectful way towards your goals within our safe space, which we will create together.

A Safe space built on mutual trust and respect, sensitive to your needs and a space which you feel comfortable and able to work through the difficulties that have brought you to counselling.

I currently offer appointments to work with you in person or remotely using Telephone or the secure online platform of Zoom. These remote options can be convenient for you to use from the comfort of your chosen safe and confidential space.

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
