About me
I offer a warm and empathetic approach. We will work at your own pace, which will help build an honest and reliable relationship making it easier to feel able to speak freely. Your unique needs will always be at the heart of my work. Seeing a counselor or opening up for the first time can be a daunting process but I also believe it can be life-changing.
I work with adults and young people, who are experiencing challenges that affect their day-to-day life. These include low self-esteem, relationship and family issues, divorce, abuse, panic disorders and child related issues - to mention just a few. Sometimes these challenges can lead to feeling isolated or confused, depression, anxiety or stress. Either way, I can offer you a safe space to gently explore your experiences.
I am a qualified integrative therapist. I have trained in a range of modalities, including Psychodynamic Counselling and Transactional Analysis. There are times where you may just want to talk and be listened to and times where together we can explore your past experiences and relationships to help you understand how these are impacting your present life.

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.
