About me
Are you struggling with day-to-day activities or in your relationships? Have you found yourself falling into patterns of behaviour that can be unhelpful? If so, counselling could help you. I offer a space where you are free to explore your issues where you don’t have to pretend to be anything or worry about being judged. Whether you are struggling with feelings of anxiety and depression or have suffered a loss of some kind or one of the many other things that bring people to counselling, I will support you in working through the issues.
I understand that coming to counselling can be daunting. I can offer a safe place where you can work through difficult feelings and start to make sense of things in a non-judgmental environment. I will support you through our work together.
I have diverse experience of working with young people. This ranges from supporting young people with conditions such as Autism, ADHD and Oppositional Defiance Disorder in an academic setting; providing emotional support in a mentor role within a school; and counselling, providing therapeutic support. I understand the demands that young people can face in today's society from many different areas.
I work with people from the age of 13 up to and including adults. I offer short term and long term counselling.

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.

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).
