About me

I am a kind, genuine and attentive person with many years counselling experience.I work with Adults (including Military Personnal), Young People, Couples and Families

I offer a safe place, one to one, couples and family counselling, non-judgemental, private and confidential.

I can work creatively, encouraging new skills and techniques whilst working through turmoil and barriers to enable you feel empowered to grow as a person/people/family

How counselling can help...

Are you going through life not understanding why you feel or act the way you do? Or not able to understand how your feel?

As a couple or family are you struggling to bond, or appreciate each others differences?

Is it preventing you achieve what you want in life, causing issues with your personal life/relationships, impacting on your work/school/family or effecting your physical health?

Do you feel you can’t cope with life any more, it all too much and confusing? Maybe you are struggling with a recent situation or perhaps a historical childhood event(s).

Does this make you feel anxious, frustrated, angry, withdrawn, or use unsafe coping methods because you can’t understand or identify your emotions.

I can help you with:-

Self-harm, Anxiety, Stress, Service veterans, Emotional/Physical/Sexual Abuse, Loss, Post-traumatic stress, Trauma, Depression, Personal development, Self esteem, Men's issues, Women's issues, Child related issues, Relationships, Anger management, Work related issues, Family Therapy

Member organisations

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

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).
