About me
People come to counselling for so many different reasons. Maybe you have a specific past or present life event that is troubling you. Maybe you are feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, panicky, or are having intrusive thoughts or have low self-esteem. Maybe you have no idea what is wrong but you just don't feel OK. I believe that every human is unique, and that everyone can benefit from a safe and confidential place to talk through and explore whatever issues you are experiencing. The purpose is to express your thoughts, emotions and experiences, which can often be unconscious and hidden, to gain insight and make better sense of what is happening for you.
I am a qualified counsellor who offers an empathetic and non-judgemental space. I work in an integrative way, using many different counselling approaches depending on your individual needs. Counselling can be a daunting experience but together we can work through the obstacles and problems that are holding you back from living the life you want.

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.
