About me

Whatever you’re dealing with, I offer a supportive and non-judgemental space to help you process your feelings and move forward.

I offer face to face sessions in the Leamington / Kenilworth area, with availability Monday to Wednesday. 

I also have face to face sessions in the Bromsgrove area on Thursdays and Fridays. 

My online clients can be anywhere in the UK, with flexible scheduling to suit

I work with clients aged 18+

Training, qualifications & experience

MSc Counselling and Psychotherapy, from Keele University.   

I am person-centred practitioner. This means that I work collaboratively, with each client, giving them the support and space they need to find their own path to where they want to be.

I have been an Army reservist and had a 30-year career in the emergency services. Those experiences of dealing with trauma, loss and people in crisis help to inform my work.

I continue to volunteer at a local Hospice, providing bereavement counselling.

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

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.

The first session is free of charge and without any obligation.  It takes the form of phone or video call of up to 30 minutes. This is an opportunity for you to share why you want to explore the possibility of therapy and what you’re hoping to achieve. I’ll explain my working ethos, answer any questions you may have, and you decide whether the way I offer therapy feels like a good fit for you.
