About me
While appreciating your uniqueness, I will work with you in a supportive and collaborative way, while we explore your life experiences and the behaviours, feelings and emotions that may be causing you difficulties or affecting your day to day life. I work with you, looking at your past and present situations and helping you to find strategies for positive change. I am very aware of the importance of developing a trusting and open relationship while we work together.
Throughout our work, I will be conscious of your individuality; you have your own background and perspectives. No problem is too big or too small to bring to counselling - if something is affecting your well-being and day to day life then it's important to get help and feel supported. I offer a non-judgmental and accepting space to explore deep feelings and aspects of your life or yourself that you'd like to change or understand.
I have years of experience working with situations such as stress, anxiety, depression, loss and bereavement, feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, difficult family situations, relationship issues, drug addiction, domestic violence, sexual abuse, anger management and self-harm.
I work with adults, couples, children and adolescents and my practice is situated on the Somerset Levels, between Yeovil, Taunton and Langport . There is parking at the counselling premises.
I know how important it is to choose the right counsellor for you; I therefore offer a free initial telephone or face to face consultation, so we can talk and learn a little about each other.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
