About me

Counselling that helps you to pause, take a breath, and move forward.

Life can feel overwhelming at times. You feel like you're stuck in a loop, with moments of your life replaying in your head on repeat. It can make you feel anxious and stressed, focused on the past rather than on the future.

Together, we can find a path forward for you. A path where you feel more in control of your life, more confident that you can handle the bumps in the road.

As you read this, you might be feeling nervous about choosing the ‘best’ counsellor. You want to find the right fit. Someone who will listen to what you have to share and offer guidance, not judgement.

That's why I offer a free 20-minute call. You'll be able to ask me questions about how counselling works and learn more about me. As with all my sessions, the call will be 100% confidential.

Training, qualifications & experience

Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling

BA(QTS) Education and Music

I have a background in teaching and music, giving me a creative approach to counselling with the advantage of much life experience, too.

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
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.
