About me
I understand that it can be difficult to acknowledge how you are feeling and what may be wrong with your life. Or maybe you do, but are unsure of how to address this.
My belief is that offering a safe, non-judgemental place to talk and express your feelings can enable deeper understanding and acceptance of yourself.
My background is of a long-standing NHS professional who is dedicated to caring for others. I became a counsellor because it was an alternative way to help people and build on a profession I love but within a different area.
My focus is on creating a welcoming, trusting and compassionate place where you can fully express, explore and experiment with any thoughts, feelings and emotions that you may be struggling with

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.
