About me
Coming to counselling is often the first step in your journey for positive change. There are different ways we can approach sessions; from different approaches to therapy and finding a way that is right for you.
Everyone is different and therefore, with my pluralistic approach, we can explore different ways that are right by you, guided by how you are each session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified counsellor (Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Practice and Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory, Dip CST.), which means I am an accredited member of The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and registered with the Professional Standards Authority. This means I keep my practice up-to-date with guidelines, best practice and professional development whilst always working under the Code of Ethics.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

Additional information
I am proud to offer a discounted rate for sessions if you are a key worker or if you have been referred for therapy by Mates in Mind or another similar organisation.
I would like to help and support as many people as I can, and if you think therapy would help but would find the cost challenging, please contact me to enquire about low cost counselling from £20. I offer a limited number of sessions each week at the low cost option.
