About me
Space available from 23rd June.
I understand how daunted you may feel looking for a therapist, I too had to have therapy as part of my training and remember how difficult and awkward it feels, plus the feelings of judgement you're making on yourself. I would make you feel at ease and ensure we have a trusting and confidential relationship.
I am a qualified counsellor with expertise in dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression and abuse. If you feel like you can't cope, over think everything or just need something to change then you're in the right place, getting to understand yourself or regulate how you feel or even deal with the past may be a place to start.
My approach is primarily Person Centred counselling but I incorporate experiential counselling along with creative experiences and breathing/grounding CBT technique. Together, we can explore ways for you to express yourself, build resilience and self-confidence, and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your autonomy, enabling you to enjoy life.
Research shows clients report a 144% improvement in 7 specific areas after therapy, these include mental and emotional well-being, relationships, work or education, daily functioning, confidence, physical wellbeing and overall quality of life by discovering and meeting unmet needs, autonomy, confidence and understanding without judgement.
I welcome anyone over 18 years of age.
I work with the NHS on Thursday, supporting staff alongside my private practice and I offer face to face counselling from the private and serene setting of my garden cabin or online/telephone sessions at a time and pace to suit you, on street parking is available, with good bus links.

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.
