About me

It can be good to talk to someone apart from family and friends in a safe space, when life gets challenging, when things from the past are unresolved, or when we reach a crossroads. 

I am a BACP accredited counsellor, offering one to one counselling in Sevenoaks. I work in a person-centred way, which means that it will be in a way that suits you as an individual. 

I am happy working with neurodiverse clients and with trainee counsellors. As a tutor in further education my specialisms are dyslexia, ADHD and other difficulties with learning that adults may experience.

Please note that you will not be able to speak to me directly using the phone number on this site, but if you text me a convenient day and time, I will phone you to talk. I will always reply to an email of course.

Training, qualifications & experience

My experience includes bereavement, loss and trauma of all kinds and I work with people dealing with neurodiversity, such as Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia. I am also an experienced tutor, working with counselling trainees.

Member organisations

school 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.

Accredited register membership

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

The room I work in is on the ground floor near the street, disabled parking possible directly outside. There is one step and the doorway is not wide, but it would be accessible by wheelchair if you have enough mobility to transition to a chair with help.
