About me
I truly believe in the life-changing benefits of therapy and counselling and would encourage everyone to try it. We all need a space where we can process our feelings and thoughts clearly.
Are you suffering from high levels of anxiety? Are relationships difficult and challenging for you? Maybe there is a big change in your life or a painful loss. Have you been trying to bury feelings of shame, or hurt from something that happened years ago. Have you experienced a traumatic event, or abuse in some form and you just can't get rid of the impact it's left behind, no matter how much you try to escape from those thoughts and feelings?
This is where good counselling and therapy can really help. We take time to carefully and gently look at those areas of pain or anxiety. And there will be some moments of joy too, there can also be a massive release from anxiety and hurt. This can take time, and patience and an environment where you know you can trust the person listening.
We meet for 50 minutes and sessions are best when done on a weekly basis, especially during the initial few when we're establishing our working relationship and rhythm of working, but fortnightly is an option. I offer both in-person and online therapy. I'm happy to have a short call over the phone and answer any questions, there's no pressure to commit, or you can email me and I will get back to you ASAP. NB>Please do check your spam as sometimes my replies go straight to spam.
Even if I am not the right therapist for you, I hope you find the one who will help you in this journey. Take good care of yourself.
Training, qualifications & experience
As an experienced therapist, I have worked with adults and young people in my therapeutic work. I am also a workshop leader and run group work sessions too. My own passion are Music, creativity and nature and sometimes this can be brought into the therapy work, when appropriate. I do offer walk and talk therapy if that is something you are interested in.
My work is very bespoke to your needs, so feel free to discuss this with me further if you would like.
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.

I try to offer some flexibility in the days/times I can meet, and sessions are usually weekly.
Further information
I work at several venues, depending on the time and day chosen. Each room has a very peaceful and welcoming environment. I provide water for you and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.
Our first session involves discussing how we would work together and your expectations. You can ask any questions or save them for next time. It's perfectly normal to feel a little unsure or even nervous in that first session and I aim to make the environment as comfortable as possible for you. A toilet is accessible if needed.
