About me

Do you feel as if you have lost a sense of who you are and what it means to be you? Maybe life’s responsibilities have meant you and your needs have always come second, or you have always had a particular role that limits you in freely expressing your own needs. Perhaps it feels like relationships or circumstances in your life have dominated your choices, and external judgement and expectations tend to shape and influence your life more than you'd like. It can be confusing and disempowering to feel so disconnected from the things in life that make you feel like you.

I work in a person-centred way – I will offer you a safe, accepting and welcoming place where you can start to connect again (or maybe for the first time) with what it means and feels like to really and fully be you. I will treat you and your experiences with the care and tenderness you deserve, accepting fully and without judgement all the elements of who you are that you choose to share and explore with me. My aim is to deeply understand you, your experiences and your feelings from your perspective. Being heard and understood in this way is not something we often encounter in every-day life, and it can help you find more clarity about the way you are feeling, or bring more understanding, awareness and meaning to the things you are experiencing. Working together we can start to figure out how you would like to move forward.

I offer weekly 50-minute sessions, either in-person or via online video conferencing (Zoom). You can make an initial 30-minute online appointment (free of charge) to say hello, ask any questions and to get a sense of whether we would make a good fit and work together in a way that is helpful for you. You can do this by using the 'Email me' link at the top of this page.

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.

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).
