About me

Sharing your thoughts and feelings in a safe and supportive way although scary can be the first step towards lasting change. Together we can explore the difficulties and challenges you may be personally experiencing.

My aim is to help you gain emotional strength and a greater sense of self in a safe and supportive space. 
I particularly work with clients who feel overwhelmed with life,  are experiencing Anxiety/ depression/ sadness. 
Clients experiencing low self confidence or low self esteem/ self worth. 
Clients dealing with relationship/ Divorce, /family issues including emotional or physical abuse.

Clients dealing with loss / bereavement or abandonment. 


Life can unfortunately bring a multitude of challenges for us all, but we are not alone, I have personally experienced many difficulties, this has led me to the work I do today and enabled me to give support empathy and great understanding to my clients. 

I am a fully qualified counsellor and a registered member of the British Associaton for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I abide by their ethical framework which ensures you receive professional and safe therapy.

My training as an integrative counsellor enables me to access different interventions which can be tailored to benefit and support each individual and unique client. My models include person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic therapy. I may work with you in a creative way if we decide together that this could be of benefit to you.

If you feel I could be there to listen and support your personal journey, help you through your healing process towards lasting change, then please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you

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.
