About me
My focus is to always offer a safe and therapeutic environment for you to bring whatever feels ok to share. I am aware that it can sometimes be quite a daunting experience deciding to come to counselling and so I try to make the process as calm and supportive as is possible, from your first point of contact with me.
Our initial contact will be through a counselling assessment this will give me an opportunity to assess what support you might need and importantly for you to meet with me and decide if I am the therapist you would like to work with in the counselling process.
If you decide you would like to work with me, I work both long- term and short- term face-to face counselling. We will agree a regular counselling appointment day and time and we will meet weekly and then moving forward we can review your needs and our sessions , eventually reducing sessions and finally completing counselling together.
Counselling Approach:
My integrative training as a Counsellor/Psychotherapist allows me to draw from four counselling theories, person centred, psychodynamic, existential and CBT. I also have over 10 years experience of working with survivors of rape and sexual abuse.
This enables me to tailor my work to your specific needs, whilst offering you autonomy in the counselling process.
I also offer options of Zoom, Skype and telephone support ,allowing us to work remotely if this is more suitable to your needs and availability.
My Clients:
I have worked for 12 years with a wide and varied client base, from adults of all ages to young children aged 5yrs and upwards to adolescents.
My work also includes a sixth form college setting, supporting students aged 16 – 19yrs of age.
I am passionate about supporting people of all ages through the counselling process. Together we can work through tough, devastating and life changing times, to explore and find new coping strategies and pathways to fulfil your life moving forward.

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.
