I am a fully qualified counsellor with a specialisation in depression, stress, anxiety, worry, neurodiversity, (ADHD, autism, dyslexia), bereavement, abuse, (physical, mental, sexual), PTSD, anger issues, and low self-confidence, work related issues and coaching.
My experience in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and integrated counselling equips me with a comprehensive set of tools to address the diverse needs of clients.
Having collaborated with individuals facing a range of mental health issues, I am confident in my ability to provide tailored and effective counselling; ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the client so that together, we are able to facilitate healthy and positive changes for a helpful outcome. My commitment to the client’s centred care is reflected in my ability to establish a good rapport with my clients, create safe therapeutic space and help them on their journey to mental health well-being.
I also offer supervision, having successfully mentored and supported fellow counsellors, contributing to a collaborative and growth-oriented professional environment. I work from the discrimination, integrated, and development model of supervision facilitating learning and growth while ensuring professional practice.

Member organisations
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
