About me
I am a qualified therapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I welcome clients from all backgrounds and work with clients within a safe and confidential space where you will be supported to express and explore what is troubling you without being judged. Importantly, you will be valued and respected for your own capacity to decide on what feels right for you. My previous experience includes, working for the mental health charity Mind, an addiction charity, social work and the NHS.
As an integrative therapist, I draw on a range of theories and modalities, which means I provide a therapeutic experience specific to your individual needs. I am a warm and compassionate counsellor with experience of working with a wide variety of issues. At the core of my work is the belief that a trusting and genuine therapeutic relationship is of primary importance and when this foundation is in place, it then becomes possible for significant changes to occur in terms of your wellbeing and quality of life.
How can counselling help you?
Whatever the complications or distress in your life, counselling can provide a platform for deep exploration of unresolved inner conflict, or simply provide a safe and confidential space to talk through what is worrying you so that you may find a more helpful way of understanding yourself and a way of moving forward with your life.
Counselling Practice
Although counselling can initially feel daunting, it can also be a huge relief to take this first step to speak to someone about what is troubling you. If you feel that talking to me may help, I offer a free no obligation, initial telephone or online consultation where you will be given space to talk through what is troubling you and decide whether counselling can help. Alternatively, you may prefer to email me by clicking on the link at the top of my profile page.
The duration of counselling can either be short-term or long-term. Alternatively, we can arrange a fixed number of sessions, if you prefer. Counselling sessions are usually on a weekly basis, and can continue for as long as you feel it is helpful. We will review your progress at regular intervals, to ensure that you are getting what you need from the sessions.
I work from a comfortable private practice in North Swindon with free parking, which can also be easily accessed by public transport.
In line with Government guidance in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic a thorough risk assessment of the practice has been carried out. Hygiene measures have been put in place and steps taken to maintain social distancing guidance.

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.
