About me

I offer a arm and welcoming counselling service supporting children, young people and parents through difficult times. I have over 25 years of experience with children in both educational settings and working with the NHS providing family support. The areas that i specialise include anger management, bereavement, bullying, anxiety, attachment and relationship issues. Talking to a counsellor maybe the only time you or your child will really get to reflect on past and present feelings and gain a new perspective on issues. I provide a free initial phone consultation service. On your first assessment we will decide together the most suitable method of therapy to meet your requirements. 

Training, qualifications & experience

My formal training is Person Centred counselling however I use many approaches including creativity (art and crafts), sand tray therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Member organisations

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.

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).
