About me

Experience

I am an experienced counsellor and work with clients from age 17 years and above.

I have experience in working with an extensive and diverse range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties and work-related stress.  I am committed to clients who need short or longer-term therapy and will adapt the sessions to suit your needs.

I have a warm and empathic way of being and would like to offer you the opportunity to work through this difficult and challenging time to move towards a place of recovery and freedom.

Counselling

My aim is to provide you with a confidential, safe and empathic space where you can talk through your problems freely, sharing your concerns, thoughts and feelings and a place where you can feel heard, accepted and comfortable exploring your situation.

Please call me or send an email and we can book the initial appointment which I offer at a reduced rate.

I can offer sessions face to face, or alternatively by telephone or online.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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
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.
