About me
I am an experienced Humanistic Counsellor and offer a warm, empathic and supportive environment in which you can feel safe to explore the issues that bring you to counselling. I have experience of working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, bereavement or loss, low self-esteem and self-harming.
Counselling provides an opportunity to explore difficult feelings, consider changes you may want to make in your life or how to cope with things you cannot change, with someone to walk alongside you. This experience and process can enable you to feel more accepting of yourself as a person of worth, with the ability to make choices and find your way forward towards a happier and more fulfilling life.
Having completed CRUSE bereavement training, I work with CRUSE on a voluntary basis. As well as working with adults, I have experience of working with young people.
I offer short or long term counselling.

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.
