I am counselor/therapist registered with the BACP. I have a wealth experience working with a range of common mental health issues i.e. anxiety, depression, and identity. My experience also includes working with individuals that experience changes in the dynamics of their relationships with others (including family issues).

My work is with individuals, couples, and groups.

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

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).

Additional information

Many people reach a point where counselling could be helpful, yet accessing affordable support can feel out of reach. I hold this in mind in my practice and aim to offer sessions that are both accessible and flexible.

I offer 50-minute sessions on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis, allowing you to move at a pace that feels right for you and your circumstances.

My fee is £45 per session (£60 for couples). I also offer concessions for students, senior citizens, individuals on lower incomes, and for those who feel drawn towards longer-term therapeutic work.

I currently offer an initial assessment (consultation) of up to 90 minutes for £30. This session is a space to pause and reflect on what has brought you to counselling, to ask questions, and to gently consider whether counselling — and working together — feels like the right next step for you.
