About me
You may be facing challenges such as bereavement, illness, anxiety, depression, stress or relationship difficulties. I offer being with you to work through these challenges - gently helping exploration of your own unique thoughts and feelings at a pace you choose.
As a qualified, person-centred counsellor, registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I work within their Ethical framework, offering a confidential, trusting and safe environment.
My role is to help you achieve what's important to you, whether a specific goal or talking about whatever you choose to bring, where you won't be judged.
Counselling can help you understand why you feel the way you do and help with moving to where you would like to be. I believe everyone has the potential to change their lives if that's what they want.
I have experienced the stress life can bring such as loss; juggling home commitments and working life; feelings of not being enough; relationship stress. I have realised life brings many challenges and feel its very important to have someone to be able to share those with, in a place where you don't have to put on a mask and will not be judged.
The counsellor client relationship is key to successful therapy. It's important to find the right counsellor for you. Choosing to work with someone you haven't met can be worrying - I offer a free 15 minute session to see how we work together and whether you feel it works for you.

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.
