About me
My aim as a counsellor is to be with you whilst working through any personal, emotional or behavioural issues that may be affecting you. I offer a confidential opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings in order to assist your learning, healing, understanding and growth.
I work with Bereavement and loss, sexual abuse, anxiety and depression, relationship issues, anger and all aspects of life events. I specialise in Bereavement and Loss - there is nothing that can prepare us for the loss of a loved one and although grief is a natural process, for most people bereavement will be the most distressing experience they will ever face.
I offer both short and longer term counselling for individuals and couples.
My service is provided irrespective of sex, race, culture, politics, sexual orientation or religious beliefs. My aim is to help you through the process without judgement or telling you what to do. I will not offer advice but I may on occasion give information or offer suggestions. I aspire to strengthen each person's confidence and encourage personal growth.
I hold professional indemnity insurance.

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.

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).
