About me

I am an integrative counsellor and registered member of the BACP

My aim
Is to offer a warm, confidential, safe space for us to work with any issues or difficulties you bring. I will listen without judgement, working alongside you in the context of a supportive, collaborative relationship. You are free to discuss whatever feels important, whenever you feel ready and able to do so.

How I work
In counselling, as in life, one size does not fit all. Working as an integrative counsellor allows me to offer you a number of counselling approaches to best suit your individual needs.   You are at the heart of the process. My role is not to give advice but I will safely support you in working towards positive change.

Establishing a good therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in the effectiveness of our work together, so it's important that you feel comfortable with me. With that in mind, I offer a free no obligation telephone discussion, where we can explore what it is you would like to achieve and how we might work towards that. If you decide that I am the right counsellor for you, we can arrange a mutually convenient time to meet on a weekly basis. How long we work together depends on you and your needs. I offer both short term and long term counselling.

Please feel free to contact me via phone on: 07360 178832 or click here to send me an email to arrange your free no obligation discussion.

How can counselling help?
Life can sometimes present challenges which may leave us feeling overwhelmed. Whilst family and friends can sometimes be a good source of support, oftentimes people find it helpful to talk to a professional counsellor, who is not personally involved.

If you would like me to listen and help you to understand your feelings, or to find ways to manage your emotional issues, then I can help.

You don't have to be in crisis to reach out. People seek counselling for a variety of reasons, maybe you feel that something is ‘not quite right’, leaving you feeling sad, stuck or confused.  Perhaps you are suffering from anxiety or depression, or have experienced a bereavement.  You may be experiencing the effects of stress, relationship difficulties or low self esteem. Whatever your reason, I am here to help you.

I can help you to develop a greater sense of self awareness, enabling you to make sense of what's troubling you. With insight, comes an opportunity to make positive changes in your life, or to simply accept what is.

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
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

* Available at my Thame practice. I work from tranquil rooms in Stone, Buckinghamshire and Thame, Oxfordshire where there is free parking. Both locations are easily reached from surrounding towns and villages.
