About me

I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a fully qualified and accredited cognitive behavioural therapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP). I offer all my clients a safe, professional, non-judgemental and confidential environment in which they can explore any past or present issues. With my CBT work I offer evidence based interventions adapted to each individual's needs and I have experience of working with many different issues, including depression, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, social anxiety, low self esteem, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), phobias, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sexual, emotional and physical abuse, grief and (work and educational related) stress. I am able to offer appointments via the telephone, the teams app and ZOOM.

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

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).

Further information

An initial meeting is our first opportunity to discuss what has been troubling you and how these difficulties are affecting you. This meeting will also give you an opportunity to decide whether you feel that a therapeutic approach may be helpful for you to manage or overcome your difficulties.

I am able to undertake both short and long term counselling and CBT dependent on each individual's needs.
