About me
I specialise In helping couples and individuals explore and resolve long standing problems in their life. I have specialist training in relationship counselling and individual psychotherapy.
My clients come to see me because they are distressed about recurring problems in their life and relationships. They want help with their distress, to be heard, understood and supported to make changes toward a more satisfying life and stronger relationships.
First Session
The first session is to identify in more detail what you would like to get from therapy, and how we might work together in the best way to support this, including thinking about how many sessions might be needed.
Types of problems I help clients with:
- Relationship difficulties with a partner, friend or family member; help to understand and repair what is going wrong in a relationship, finding ways of building stronger partnerships, friendships and family connections.
- Difficulty forming or maintaining satisfying relationships; Identifying unhelpful patterns and ways of coping that can disrupt relationships
- Adjusting to life changes and transitions such as university, marriage, birth of children and retirement, chronic or terminal illness. Help to make successful transitions at key life stages.
- Treating depression and anxiety that is restricting the ability to live a full life
- Support for sustained recovery from problem gambling

I have worked for leading charities as a relationship counsellor, addictions counsellor and have worked in private practice following extensive specialist training in psychotherapy.

Member organisations
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).
