About me
Counselling offers an opportunity to reflect upon our lives and talk about all aspects of this including those parts we find difficult to manage or painful to address.
By reflecting upon our existing patterns of behaviour we can bring about potential changes which may enrich our lives.
Such changes may be challenging, requiring support and understanding.
Addressing the past and recognising the importance of early relationships will form an integral part of this process.
The process begins with an initial meeting to discuss individual concerns and the reasons behind the wish to explore therapy and make changes.
By addressing concerns together there is an ability to develop greater understanding of ourselves. The way forward allows for change and growth in a healing and positive manner. Long-standing conflicts can seem less overwhelming as greater self-awareness is encouraged and self-belief nurtured.
What is holding you back from being the person you would like to be and living your life in a full and fulfilling way?
By taking the time to know yourself and understand your unconscious motivations you can then move forward, becoming stronger in the process.
Change doesn't need to be frightening and it is possible to develop a different way of seeing ourselves and the options open to us in terms of our development and future. Take time to reflect and repair.
With my support, and working together, let us face the fears, consider and address them.

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.
