About me
Initially I qualified as a person centred and have gained by developing into a more and integrative approach this places the counselling relationship as the key to establish a space for deeper exploration of the self. In the first session you can expect that we will discuss limits to confidentiality. Look at the reason that brought you to your first session.
Grief and Loss
I initially came into the profession as I had a significant bereavement, in the early Nineties there was so little support on offer . I realised with additional support offered me a space to process a multitude of complex emotions . This led me into training as a counsellor. Since then I have gained skills and experience in working with adults, couples and families through face to face, zoom or telephone counselling sessions. Initially working to build skills, knowledge and experience with clients, working on relationship challenges.
I have worked in a hospice offering counselling to support families and individuals, either facing their death, or loved ones caring for someone in the final stage of their life .I work with family Carer's who are supporting someone with Alzheimers ,dementia and the impact that this has on them and the wider family . Looking at supporting them during the changes that are taking place who and how to sign post, offering therapeutic support to deal with this difficult, and potentially confusing time .I also have gained skills in working with addiction as I have worked in community drug and alcohol centre .
Our first session offers the opportunity for you to be heard and listened to. Included in the first session is to create a safe space for the exploration of what has brought you to seek counselling and to explore any goals you may have.

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.
