About me
Update - 24 Nov 2023.
Due to my current client caseload I am unable to accept any new clients.
I have a broad range of experience working with adults and young people, all with different reasons for wanting to access counselling. I am able to offer a range of different types of counselling sessions, based on your preferences and desired outcome.
How Might Counselling Help
Counselling itself isn't a cure, it is an arena where healing and change can take place.
Counselling Assessment & Process
The first time we meet is an opportunity for us to discuss why you wish to access counselling and how counselling might help. The relationship between the client and counsellor is paramount in effective therapy, and so we must both feel that I am the right counsellor for you. After the initial meeting, if we both agree to proceed, we will agree a mutually convenient date and time to meet each week for a 50 minute session. Initially it can be beneficial to meet weekly, but other options, such as fortnightly and monthly might also be considered.
Throughout the counselling process, we will review your original aims of counselling and you can assess whether counselling is meeting your needs and whether you wish to continue. You are free to end counselling at any time, but I would always recommend having a planned ending.
Home Visits
Home visits may be beneficial for a range of reasons and currently I am able to visit clients within a 20 mile radius of Rugby, Warwickshire, but I hope to be able to increase this in the future. The benefit of a home visit is increased if there is a suitable room in which to meet, with minimal distractions. If in any doubt then please contact me to discuss.
Single Session Interventions
A single 'one off' session can give you the time and space to talk about specific problems and consider your future plans. After an initial single session, you might decide that you would like on-going sessions. Any additional sessions can be discussed and agreed and might include, either time limited (6-12 sessions) or longer term.
The duration of single 'one off' sessions is negotiable but may typically last for 90 or 120 minutes.
Ecotherapy
Not all counselling sessions have to take place in a counselling room or your home. Ecotherapy is a formal type of therapeutic intervention, which involves being in nature. Please contact me if you would like further information

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.

Additional information
I offer a range of therapeutic interventions and so the fees may vary depending on the type of intervention, whether I am visiting you, or if you are meeting me at one of the office locations. I am aware that the cost of counselling can be a barrier to preventing someone from accessing therapy and so concessions are available based on individual circumstances. Please contact me for further information.
