About me

It is never too late to change yourself and your life.  

Most people's problems stem from the relationship that they're having with themselves, which impacts every area of their life, even if they don't realise it.  

Growth becomes possible when you understand how the story of your life has been affecting the relationship that you have with both yourself and those around you.  How do you know which paths and people will lead you to happiness if you haven't stopped to really take a look at where you're starting from?

I have a degree in Applied Psychology, and then trained at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling and qualified in Humanistic and Integrative Counselling (merit, DipHIC, MBACP), which is an accredited course by both UKCP and BACP.  

I also have additional training and experience in, but not limited to - self-esteem, depression, narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships, divorce/separation, love attachment wounds, self-confidence, relationships and communication issues, assault, anxiety, and relationship trauma. 

There is daytime availability for you to come to the cottage for your sessions, and I offer later appointments (after 4pm) via phone and Zoom - my last appointment of the day is 6pm (starting time). 

Therapeutic Coaching - talk weekly

Drop-In Sessions - talk only when you need to

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.
