About me
Life isn't straightforward and often we experience difficulties and challenges that throw us off kilter. This might be a relationship breakup, a bereavement or a redundancy. During these times you may find it helpful to talk through these difficulties with an independent, non-judgmental counsellor, such as myself.
I am an integrative counsellor meaning I offer a range of skills and techniques when working with clients, derived from a range of psychotherapeutic theories, such as Person Centred and psychodynamic.
I am client led and therefore work at your pace.
I currently volunteer at Wandsworth Grief and Bereavement Service..
If you think you might be interested in working with me send me an e-mail or call me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I will offer an initial free half hour informal consultation.

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.
