MBACP, Individual & Couple Counsellor & Supervisor

About me

I am an individual and couple counsellor. I am qualified person-centred therapist, registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), with years of experience, using an integrative approach that combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a motivational approach. 

 I offer a flexible and responsive approach that combines counselling with coaching techniques, tailored to meet your individual needs. At times, our work together may take a more coaching-oriented direction, focusing on setting goals and creating actionable plans. Other times, it may be more non-directive, providing you with a space for deeper exploration and reflection. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, low moods, self-esteem, or relationship challenges, I will adapt my approach to best support you on your journey. This blend of therapeutic counselling and goal-focused coaching ensures we address both the emotional and practical aspects of your challenges, empowering you to make lasting, positive changes in your life.

In the privacy of your own home or wherever you feel comfortable, I offer a safe online space for us to explore these challenges. I aim to help you identify roadblocks and develop practical coping strategies, empowering you to achieve your personal goals.

I am empathetic, non-judgemental and I am committed to build a strong rapport. I work with clients dealing with relationship struggles, childhood issues, low moods, anxiety, self-esteem, and confidence. These challenges can impact both mental and physical health, affecting daily life in significant ways. Together, we will develop strategies to better manage your emotions and help you move toward a happier, more fulfilling life.

In addition to my private practice, I work within NHS, supporting staff with both work related and personal issues. I am French native meaning that I understand how difficult it is to adapt and build a life in another country, learning to live in a different culture and speak a different language. I am aware of the anxieties and loneliness which can often be experienced in moving to a foreign country. 

I offer a free 20-minute consultation via Zoom or WhatsApp, with no obligation, to see if we can work together.

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

Key details

Wheelchair user access
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.
