About me
Life doesn't always go according to plan, things go wrong when you least expect it! This can cause stress, anxiety or other emotional turmoil that becomes so great that it disrupts your life. Stopping you from being the person you want to be
Counselling can help work your way through these thoughts and feelings, helping you make sense of your world to make you feel lighter and more able to carry on.
I am an Integrative Counsellor and EMDR therapist
This means I use different forms of counselling that best fits you the client depending on your needs. I believe through counselling you have the ability to find your own answers to look at hard and painful feelings to help you understand yourself and where these feelings originate from to help you accept them, this in turn enables you to move forward in your life.
EMDR helps clients that are suffering from the results of trauma in their lives this can be any thing from childhood abuse, neglect, violence, rape, natural or man made disasters. The bilateral stimulation in EMDR helps with the stimulation of the brain that processes and integrates memories. helping to free them from being trapped with the emotional response left by the original trauma.
I'm a warm open person who is non judgmental allowing my clients to feel at ease, helping to form the all important working relationship which is an integral part of the process. This is how I help facilitate you in your exploration of your own thoughts and feelings.
I work with both long and short term clients, depending on what is decided during the initial assessment. This also gives you the chance to see if you want work with me, giving us both the opportunity to get to know each other and to go over what style of counselling you are seeking and what you wish to gain from it.
I am a EMDR therapist and therapeutic counsellor accredited registered member of the BACP and adhere to their codes and ethics, helping to maintain standards and to work in your best interest.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
