About me

If you are reading this then maybe you are struggling. This could be through feeling stressed, anxious, overwhelmed or struggling with the challenges that life brings. Reaching out for support, might be the best thing you ever do.   

Counselling may feel like a daunting experience. Often, in reality, it can feel very different, like a conversation, where we will talk and explore your difficulties together.  At times, there may be tears but also, we may laugh at different things.  

Through a friendly, supportive and professional relationship, I will listen to you through your own feelings and thoughts. With no judgement, allowing you to feel accepted, just as you are. 

I am an Integrative therapist, meaning I am trained in different theories which brings a wealth of knowledge into the therapeutic relationship. 

This allows me to tailor your sessions to what you need. Then together we can understand how life can be more fulfilling and experienced as a happier and healthier way of being. 

 My Experience 

My background is in Hospice care, including supporting carers and those bereaved from a death of a loved one. Including complex grief, involving sudden or unexpected death. I have supported individuals of all ages around grief and loss which appears in our lives in many different forms. Including pet bereavement, work related issues, relationship breakups, empty nest, family issues and dynamics, or finding yourself alone after being widowed. 

I have also supported both Adults and Young people with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, depression, relationship problems, ADHD and neurodivergence. 

How I work 

I offer sessions over the telephone or through on-line video calls.

I hold professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and The National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

NCPS
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS)

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society

This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.

In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

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.

Areas of counselling I deal with

Other areas of counselling I deal with

Pet Bereavement - The loss of a pet can be as distressing, as that of losing, a close family member. Often the sadness around their death can be dismissed and leave us feeling isolated and lonely.
