About me
Hi, I am an accredited counsellor. I am also a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I practice in the Alderley area of Cheshire. I work with young adults, couples with relationship issues and individuals.
ABOUT ME
In the counselling room and currently on zoom or WhatsApp I work with couples and individuals in an integrative way which simply means that I am able to use various styles of counselling. This will help to provide the best type of counselling that suits you and your requirements, needs and goals. I offer both short and long term counselling.
We will work together in a caring, safe and non judgemental manner to discuss any issues where you are really listened to.
I will help you to explore and challenge the difficulties you are experiencing and we can look and try to find the solutions to bring about the positive changes and wellbeing that you are wanting in your life.
I understand it can be difficult to make initial contact. I will try to make this as easy as possible. Therefore, I am happy to initially briefly chat to you via email or telephone to discuss any questions that you have regarding the counselling process.

Member organisations
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.
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.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
