About me
I am now once again working face to face in my counselling room as well as online, walk and talk, and home visits. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.
I have been counselling for fifteen years, within the NHS and with the bereavement counselling charity Cruse. In that time I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds with a wide range of issues and difficulties. Some examples are
- bereavement and loss
- adult survivors of sexual abuse
- work related stress and redundancy
- family relationship problems.
Counselling can help you move forward. I won't tell you what to do but I will work with you in a focussed way to help you find a way through your difficulties.
Our relationship is key so feeling able to talk to me is really important. You can phone or email me before making a decision without any obligation, and you can have a look at my website to find out a bit more about me.
Sessions last an hour and can be booked as a single session. When we first meet we will discuss what you would like to get out of counselling and if we work over a number of sessions, usually on a weekly or fortnightly basis, we will check how it feels for you.
If you phone or email and I'm not available, I will get back to you as soon as I can.

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.
