About me
Hello, I’m a qualified counsellor based in Loughborough, with over 5 years’ experience working with a wide range of clients - particularly children and young people and 20 years' experience working in educational settings.
I offer a flexible, tailored approach shaped around each individual’s unique needs. My work draws on several therapeutic models, including integrative therapy, person-centered therapy, transactional analysis, psychoanalytic approaches, and play therapy, allowing us to explore what feels most helpful and appropriate for each client.
Training, qualifications & experience
Over the years, I’ve supported clients with a broad range of personal, social, and cultural issues, such as anxiety, low mood, identity, relationships, loss, bereavement, school-related challenges, and emotional regulation. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where people can be heard and supported to make sense of their experiences.
While I work across the age range, I have particular experience with children and young people, using creative and age-appropriate methods to help them express themselves and build emotional resilience.
I offer sessions on a short- or long-term basis, depending on what feels right for you, and I’m happy to discuss your needs during an initial conversation.
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.
