About me

Counselling

Looking for a counsellor can be a scary and daunting process and asking for help can be one of the hardest things we do. 

I know that some things can be difficult to talk about with friends and family and this can leave us feeling isolated. Talking to a counsellor can provide you with the opportunity to explore these experiences and continue to grow.

Counselling can provide a space, free from judgement, where you can talk to someone who truly listens to your concerns. Counselling is a journey, an exploration of these challenges and how they may be influencing your life.

I encourage you to get in touch if you would like to know more about counselling and whether it might be right for you.

I offer counselling:

Face-to-face - I don't currently offer face-to-face but hope to soon. 

Outdoor - I don't currently offer walk & talk but hope to soon. 

Online/Phone - I can offer video calling or phone counselling.

About Me

I am a friendly and approachable person who is here to listen. My aim is to provide a space for you to feel heard, understood and not judged. Together, we can explore how you are feeling, discuss your concerns and worries and bring positive changes to your life.

Supporting our frontline emergency service workers, and staff, is something that I am very passionate about. You've dedicated your life to protecting others, now it's time to prioritise your own wellbeing.

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.

DBS check

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.
