About me
Hello, a really warm welcome to you.
I am an experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor helping people with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, stress (including work-related), historic and current bullying, low self-esteem, trauma, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), relationships, overcoming various addictions and adult survivors of child abuse.
Many of my clients have come to me feeling low, tired, stuck and unmotivated. Some came having not been able to sleep or concentrate. Not knowing what to do next can leave you feeling powerless, so I provide a supportive and caring environment to help you feel safe to explore any difficulties or challenges you might be facing and support you to make the changes you want in your life.
I take a holistic approach with each client, using therapies which best suit their individual needs, experiences and the issues they wish to explore to help them make positive changes to improve their mental, emotional and ultimately their physical health.
As an an integrative counsellor I draw on a range of approaches including: Person centred, Gestalt, CBT Transactional Analysis, Psychodynamic, Existential and Relational. I am also a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner.
My work as a counsellor has involved supporting people with a wide range of issues including:
- addiction
- depression
- anxiety
- stress
- panic attacks
- low self-esteem
- coping with anger
- bereavement
- pet loss
- domestic abuse
- relationship breakdown
- long term health conditions, such as a cancer.
We can all feel stuck sometimes in our lives. Maybe a situation has become difficult for you, or maybe you simply want to make some changes.
I am currently working with clients online via Skype, Facetime or Zoom. I have been working with clients regularly in this way for some time and it has proved to be helpful, safe and successful. Please call me on 07957 295051 to explore further or click here to send me an email.

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.

Face to Face and Online
Due to the current situation in relation to Covid-19, I am currently only working with clients on line to minimize the possibility of spreading the virus, via Skype, Facetime or Zoom. I fully appreciate that this way of working together is not the same as meeting face to face, but I hope is it an option you will consider. I have been working with some clients regularly in this way for some time and it has proved to be helpful and successful. Please call me on 07957 295051 to explore further.
