About me
There are moments when challenges can feel overwhelming, making it difficult to navigate. Counselling provides a confidential space and dedicated time for you to reflect on your perspective, gaining a better understanding of your emotions and fears.
I will assist you in delving into your thoughts and unravelling them to find more precise meaning and comprehension. Throughout this process, it is crucial for you to maintain your individuality, and together, we will develop a flexible approach that caters to your unique needs, allowing you to freely express your thoughts and feelings.
As a qualified humanistic psychotherapeutic counsellor, I offer confidential face-to-face counselling and psychotherapy, accommodating both short-term and long-term engagements. A no-obligation consultation is available to assess your needs and address any questions you may have, ensuring that you retain control throughout the process.

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.
