About me
Welcome and thank you for looking at my Profile. I offer a counselling space which is safe, confidential, supportive and non-judgmental, where you can be heard and explore the things that are important to you. I believe the foundation of counselling is the relationship that the client and therapist build together. I trained as a counsellor after experiencing the benefits of what counselling offered me, 13 years ago.
My training is in Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic and Systemic Counselling and I have done additional courses in CBT, creative work and mindfulness. The work that I do is integrative, meaning that I use a range of methods and techniques to help you, depending on the difficulties you're experiencing, and the feedback you give me through our work together. I work with a wide range of issues including; depression, anxiety, loss, bereavement, abuse, baby loss, relationship, work, fertility and family issues.
I am also a qualified relationship counsellor and work with couples to explore difficulties in their relationship and identify ways of improving the way they relate together. I also work with couples who are exploring their options around maintaining their relationship or separation.
I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to choose a counsellor and I hope this does not prevent you from getting the support you need. Please give me a ring or email if there is anything that you would like to discuss further or if you have any questions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified in 2013 with a Diploma (distinction) in Therapeutic Counselling at the Northern Guild. I also have a Level 5 post qualification in Relationship Counselling through Counselling and Psychotherapy Counselling Central Awarding Body (CPCAP). I have recently trained with Petals charity who specialise in working with baby loss, including supporting individuals and couples through early and late miscarriage, termination for medical reasons and still birth.
I have worked in a variety of settings such as health services, charitable organisations such as Relate and Children North East and the statutory sector. I have experience of providing both long and short term therapeutic work depending on the issues your facing and your financial situation.
I have a background and Masters (MA) in youth work and have supported young people for many years to overcome challenges and understand themselves more fully and work towards making positive change. I work with young people aged 16 and over.

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.
