About me
Deciding to reach out for counselling can feel like a big step. My aim is to offer you a calm, confidential and accepting space where you can speak openly, without fear of judgement.
I work with adults, young people and children. My main areas of expertise are anxiety and separation anxiety, low mood, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, grief, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties and trauma. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure why things feel hard right now, we can explore it together.
I believe that feeling heard and safe are the ways to begin healing. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I won’t rush you or push an agenda; instead, we work at your pace, making sense of your experiences and finding ways forward that feel right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a CPCAB Level 4 qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP.
I have completed my extensive training to work with young people and children.
I continually attend training to keep my knowledge current and my practise safe.
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.
