About me
I can help you work through your problems by developing your self-awareness using Person Centered Therapy in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential way.
I work at your pace to dig deep into your feelings and get to the root cause of why you feel the way you do. This helps with low self-worth, low self-esteem and depression by increasing your understanding of who you are and enabling you to release yourself from behaviours that are no good for you anymore.
I also offer guided meditations and mindfulness sessions for you to use in your own time. My clients tend to use these to help with anxiety, sleep or to find some peace and calm.

How to get in touch
To get started, you can call, text or email me to arrange your first session or an initial phone call to talk about what your looking for from counselling. The initial call is free and informal and it shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling as a Person Centred Therapist.
I am registered with NCPS and I follow their ethical framework to ensure that I work with clients in a safe and competent way.
I also have a Diploma in Meditation. I create my own meditations to help with all kinds of issues, and they range from beginners level up to advanced, depending on your comfort levels.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.

Further information
I offer telephone counselling, home visits and meditation.
Telephone counselling is great if you're not local, you don't feel comfortable with online counselling, or you struggle to get out and about. You can have sessions from your own home at a time that suits you.
Home visits can be arranged locally for counselling and meditation so please get in touch if this is what you are looking for.
Meditations are available as pre-recorded sessions or in a written format.
