About me
Perhaps you've spent a long time trying to understand yourself, cope with difficult experiences or make changes that never quite seem to last. You don't have to work everything out on your own.
I offer a warm, thoughtful and individual approach to counselling and psychotherapy, providing a space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted.
You might be struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, experiencing difficulties in relationships or finding yourself repeating patterns that you don't understand. Perhaps you have always felt a little different from other people, or have reached a point in life where the ways you have managed things in the past no longer seem to work.
You don't need to have a diagnosis, a clearly defined problem or even the right words to explain how you feel. We can start wherever you are.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Counselling Session
Do you feel like you are always trying to cope with things getting on top of you but nothing you try seems to work for long? Are you worried about a friend or a family member? A person-centred counselling session allows someone to explore which changes could really make a difference, at their own pace and in a safe, confidential space.
Coaching Session
Life throws many surprises at us, and while we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond. In a coaching session, you or someone you know can learn about existing strengths and how new tools give us the power of choice over whatever life brings.
Couples Session
Often a single couples' session can give you the tools which are the key to a happier, healthier relationship. A couples' session on re-kindling romance, dealing with changes such as the birth of a child, what to do when a trust issue arises etc. will give you the techniques you need to achieve a balanced and fulfilling relationship. If you have time then several sessions will allow you become well-versed at handling issues between you whenever and wherever they arise.
