BA (Hons) MBACP - Counsellor, Psychotherapist & Eco Therapy

About me

I am an outdoor Counsellor and Psychotherapist, specialising in working with Anxiety Disorders, ADHD, AuDHD and Autistic clients.

I offer individual support to clients of most age ranges as well as wider support to parents and family members. 

I have experience of supporting clients with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, PTSD and addiction. I understand the sensitive nature of this work and so when working within these areas, I believe that it is important to work gently with my clients and only go at a pace that feels safe for you.

I offer online and telephone sessions across the UK. However, if you are based in Somerset, I specialise in walking and talking therapy (ecotherapy).

I offer a free initial phone consultation which usually lasts for around 30 minutes. Ongoing sessions cost £50. I also have a small number of concessionary slots available and I would be happy to discuss available options in an initial consultation. 

To book a free telephone consultation, or if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me either by phone on 07540 426 354 or email me here.

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.
