About me

Are you facing challenges in your life that feel overwhelming? Would you like to change how things are, or gain a better understanding of what is going on for you? Perhaps what you are experiencing is due to a relationship, something to do with your job or studies, a bereavement or other loss, or something less definable - perhaps just a sense that something is not right for you. Maybe it is connected to neuro-diversity, low self esteem, depression or anxiety. 
 
Whatever your difficulty is, and no matter how big or small it seems, by looking for therapy, you are taking a positive step in your life. 
 
I am here to help you - as a person-centred counsellor, I will help you look at what is going on for you with empathy and non-judgement. Bringing aspects of your experience into awareness with compassion and acceptance creates the space for healing and moving forward in a direction that is positive for you. Speaking from personal experience, positive change can come about through this process and seemingly insurmountable challenges can be overcome.
 
I am also trained as an integrated therapist, which allows me to access a range of therapy techniques that, depending on your goals and preferences, we can use together to help you achieve what you are looking for.
 
I understand that finding the right therapist for you is really important for any therapy  - and I offer a free 15 minute phone call so we can get to know each other a bit before we agree to see each other.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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.
