About me
There are many reasons why you might reach out for counselling such as a challenging life event, seeking self-discovery or wanting to manage anxiety. The thought of starting therapy can be a journey in itself. Then begins the process of finding a counsellor who will be the right fit for you.
I am an accredited member of the BACP which means that I have been able to demonstrate high standards of training, competence and experience. I have a degree in Theology and Counselling and a Master’s in Psychology.
I work from a holistic and integrative perspective drawing on various theories and approaches to suit your individual needs. I provide a confidential, empathic and non-judgemental space for you to be able to share freely.
I believe that it is my role as a counsellor to journey alongside you to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours, working with you to achieve your therapeutic goals.
Initial Consultation
Finding the right counsellor for you can contribute to how successful you find your sessions. The initial consultation is a time for me to gain some insight into what has brought you to therapy and to have a better understanding of what your goals might be. It is also a time for you to get to know me and to ask any questions. It will give you an idea of how sessions will be going forward if we continue to work together.
Sessions
Sessions are normally weekly and last 50 minutes. They can be conducted face-to-face, online or over the phone. I offer both short-term and long-term therapy which can be discussed and agreed upon in the initial consultation.
Please do get in touch for more information or to arrange an initial consultation.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
