About me

You may have hit a rough patch in life and could use some support. You may be feeling down or struggling with relationships. You may realise it is finally time to deal with stuff you've been avoiding. I offer private therapy and counselling to individuals looking to heal and grow.

Finding a safe, confidential space to open up about your thoughts and feelings with someone who listens, understands, and cares can make a difference. Together, we can navigate through your challenges, gaining insight into yourself, figuring out what truly matters to you, and tapping into your inner strength.

Please get in touch to arrange your free consultation if you're interested in working together. During our work together, we'll delve into your challenges within a supportive, secure space, guiding you toward your objectives. Together, we'll uncover your existing patterns, identify any obstacles, and progress towards a deeper understanding of yourself.

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.
