About me
My aim is to help you to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviour, to find clarity and support you to find ways of coping that work better for you. You may have anxiety; have a dilemma or important decision to make; you may have experienced a distressing event that you are struggling to come to terms with or make sense of; your problems may be many, built up over a period of time and you are wondering why you are struggling to cope now, when you have always managed before.
I offer a welcoming, confidential and therapeutic space where you can talk to me about any matter that causes you concern.
I have been qualified as a person-centred counsellor since 2006 and I am currently working with clients online and in further education. Below are examples of some of the issues I can help you with.

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.
