About me
I am a qualified counsellor based in Blackpool offering person-centred therapy. This is a non-judgemental form of counselling in a safe environment designed to work with you, the client, to explore and resolve whatever issues you wish to bring to the session.
If you feel this may be right for you, I invite you to contact me.
I am a member of the BACP (the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) ensuring that I adhere to their code of ethics, maintaining confidentiality, respect for the client and attend regular supervision.
I have experience of working with clients that require help with anxiety, depression, bereavement, PTSD, all forms of abuse, sexual and relationship difficulties.
Through both my care and counselling experience I have worked with clients who have long-term conditions, both physical, emotional and mental, including, though not limited to, fibromyalgia, arthritis, cerebral palsy, autism and downs syndrome.

Member organisations
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.
