About me

A reflective and relational approach to counselling

You may be seeking counselling because life feels as though it is falling apart, or because you are holding things together at a cost to yourself. You might feel increasingly unsure where you fit, or find yourself judging how you are seen by others, rather than feeling clear about who you are.

Changes in circumstances can play a part in this. Health issues, shifts in relationships, financial pressure, ageing, caring responsibilities or raising children can all alter how life feels and what is asked of you. Changes in sex or intimacy can also emerge, sometimes quietly and with uncertainty. These can affect sex and libido, putting intimacy and relationships off balance.

Contact me to arrange a free 20-minute phone chat, or by email for further information.

I offer a place where you can speak without being corrected, judged or steered in a particular direction. There is no need to have the right words or a clear story. I pay attention to how you describe your life and what feels most pressing, allowing the conversation to unfold rather than be directed.

Over time, it can become easier to see what has been keeping things in place and where there may be room to move or change.

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.

Accredited register membership
