About me

I have worked as a counsellor for 20 years in private practice, in education and in the performing arts. I am MBACP Registered.

I work with individuals and couples with the Person Centred Approach. I take your experience, understanding, knowledge and goals as the core of our work. My role is to support you and work with you to reach those goals using my experience, understanding, knowledge and skills.

I also work with individuals in the performing arts and creative professions ensuring that our therapy does not impact negatively on the creative process.

Rollo May wrote that “Experience is the highest authority”; for me that means your experiences and the way you experience the world will be the centre of our work together.

I am experienced in working with adults, young people and children on:

  • Anxiety
  • BPD diagnosis
  • Depression
  • Difficulties with drugs and alcohol - see my website about details of Re-Vision, a unique change programme for problematic drug and/or alcohol use
  • Divorce
  • Domestic violence
  • Loss and bereavement
  • Making life-changing decisions
  • Parent/child struggles
  • Relationships
  • Self harm
  • Sexual abuse and rape
  • Stresses and strains of life
  • Suicidal thoughts and feelings
  • What do I do now?

I work with individuals and groups face to face and work with individuals online.

Training, qualifications & experience

I qualified in 2000, having been awarded a Diploma in Humanistic Counselling from the University of Warwick, and I have a Dip. H.E. in Addiction Studies from Leeds’ University, awarded in 2015. I completed Person Centred Couples training in 2018. I have a Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling and am MBTI step 1 qualified.

I worked as a counsellor at Cirencester Tertiary College from 2000-2014, and at Cheltenham College, both Junior and Senior Schools, from 2004-2010. I have been in private practice since 2010.

I am MBACP registered, have regular supervision, maintain Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in line the requirements of continued BACP registration, and work with the BACP Ethical Framework. I am fully insured to work with individuals and groups.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.
