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 you to 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 for 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

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 is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
