About me

I offer person-centred counselling in a safe and confidential environment. That means that you are the centre of the client/counsellor relationship, not just the issue or concerns that you want to work on.

I specialise in Trauma and addiction and I am also a relationship therapist, be it couples, parent/child, polyamorous and more. Whether you want to re-connect, separate, or just don't know, you may need support in working it out. 

I will not judge you and there will be no expectations that you continue to work with me if it does not feel beneficial, I understand that you will need to feel that we are ‘matched’

I have worked with clients through issues including historical trauma and abuse, anxiety, panic attacks, dissociation, overwhelming emotions and more.

I am EFT ('Tapping') qualified and a hypnotherapy practitioner, which are safe and effective ways to work through whatever is going on for you. 

I am professionally qualified and insured, and I work ethically, within the BACP Framework.

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
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.

I am situated on the 1st floor, but there is a lift to ensure accessibility
