About me
As an experienced, professionally qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, I offer short and long term therapy for adults (aged 16 and over) on a one to one basis. I have worked NHS, corporate and private settings. I also supervise the work of both trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
Sometimes people approach me with a specific issue they would like to work through and other times with a desire to explore ongoing difficulties in their lives. In all cases, I work collaboratively with my clients to fully understand their individual issues in order to bring about positive change in their lives.
My approach is integrative, meaning that I draw on different theories and approaches depending on your individual issues. I am particularly interested in early childhood experiences and how these shape our present day behaviours and relationships, often in unconscious ways.
Counselling takes place in a comfortable, quiet and confidential environment in central Guildford, Surrey.

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.
