About me

I have been counselling since 1997 offering individuals, couples, young people and families the opportunity to explore, understand and change. My approach is integrative, shaped by psychodynamic, person-centred and systemic theoretical perspectives. I can offer short term solution focused counselling or work to a more open ended contract.

I always aim to adapt my approach to suit the needs of my clients. I can offer sessions in the village of Rock in North Worcestershire or by telephone if required.

Training, qualifications & experience

After graduating with a degree in Behavioural Sciences I joined Relate in 1996. Initially I trained to work with couples. Now I am also qualified to work as a family counsellor and with young people (aged 10-20). I have worked in a broad range of settings including G.P. surgeries, schools, hospitals and children's centres. I also use EMDR to help clients overcome trauma.

I am a Registered Member of BACP

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.
