About me
Hello.
I am hard of hearing but have aids to compensate for that and offer you a free 20 minute consultation to see how we get on and to allow you the opportunity to ask any questions you might have.
I have been counselling for over 24 years so have a wealth of experience to offer you. Having reached my profile it is likely that you have something going on that is worrying, distressing or upsetting you. This may be interfering with you getting on with your life as fully as you would like. You may be considering that you need help to untangle the thoughts that are going round in your head. Often people find that it is helpful to talk with someone who is not emotionally involved to the same extent as family and friends. I aim to go at whatever pace you are comfortable with, not to judge you or tell you what to do, but perhaps to offer a different perspective, and support you in coming to your own choices or resolutions
I work face to face and I also work via WhatsApp etc. Whatever suits you best
I thank you for reading this and very much look forward to hearing from you

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
