About me
Welcome. I believe that every person is unique, and I help you face your challenges in the way that is right for you.
For both individuals and adult relationships I offer a safe, reflective, warm, and neutral space to explore your needs and make sense of the difficulties you find yourself in.
Counselling with the therapist who is right for you does change lives completely, so this first conversation matters — it is as much your chance to get a sense of me as it is mine to understand what has brought you here.
I offer a short, free initial phone call to answer all of your questions you may have about the counselling process.
If you prefer, you also have the option to meet with me face-to-face for an extended session, charged at my full rate.

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.
