About me

About me...

People from all walks of life decide to work with me to overcome various difficulties, a commonality being that they all want to make positive changes. I am a fully qualified, insured and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist and a senior accredited member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their code of ethics.

I work in an insightful and reflective way and I draw on my training and specialist experience in order to build a trusting, confidential and safe environment so that you feel contained and listened to. I have advanced counselling skills to help us work at a deep level, at a pace that is appropriate for you, exploring unconscious motives and needs. I am experienced in working with unresolved childhood issues as well as adult onset difficulties. I balance professionalism with warmth and acceptance.

In therapy...

You can talk about, and explore experiences that may be causing you pain, discomfort, stress and anxiety. You may also want to talk about things that are making you feel angry or unhappy. This is an opportunity to invest in yourself. To think about and explore issues relating to yourself and your concerns in a way that you often feel you cannot do with other people in your life. It is a place and time just for you, where you are not judged.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

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
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.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
