About me
I believe that counselling heals through a safe relationship where you can discuss and explore your emotions and issues. I recognise the courage it takes to make that first contact, and while I will support you to find a way through your current distress I won’t tell you what you should do, or tie you into a lengthy contract.
Every client is a unique individual and I value and respect you for who you are. I won’t judge you.
"the curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am then I can change"

I have worked for Listening Post a Gloucestershire based charity since 2011 providing counselling support to adults. I am currently their Clinical Manager. I also work for ARA, Addiction Recovery Agency who support clients who either have problems with gambling or are affected by someone who does.

Working in a relational way I aim to help you to find acceptance in yourself as well as find your way forward.
Member organisations
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
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
