_______________________________________
The issues above can greatly affect your well being, the quality of your life and your ability to pursue your dreams and find meaning and purpose.
Drawing on my warmth, empathy and experience I provide a safe space where you can express yourself and feel heard without fear of judgement. Working together we will find ways to help you overcome your problems. Counselling is an opportunity to gather breathing space, talk about what matters the most to you and feel supported and encouraged to make the changes you need.Therapy can help you to gain clarity, feeling less stuck and regain confidence, serenity and hope.
Becoming aware of how and when your patterns developed gives you more choice in the way you respond to people and frees you up to be yourself. It enables you to make the changes you are longing for and flourish.
How we do this depends on your background, the stage you are at in your life, the issues you are facing and any preferences you might have for a specific way of working or type of therapy. I am a professional and respected therapist with several years of experience and have worked with the majority of problems that people encounter.
Having seen many clients embrace a happier and fulfilling life, I know that with your willingness and my support it is possible to overcome the challenges that you are facing and use them as an opportunity to strengthen you and to help you embrace the life you want for yourself.

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
