About me
I am a Counselling Psychologist registered and qualified with the British Psychological Society (BPS), the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a Senior Accredited Member and Life Coach with the Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists.

At Bourne Path, I work with individuals, couples, families and older adults, of all populations, ethnicities and backgrounds. I offer a non-judgemental, positive and warm environment to help provide solutions to a variety of issues.
Our work together begins with a consultation, which will give us a chance to explore the issues you want to work on and for us to see if we'd like to embark on this therapeutic journey together as a team.

- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress, distress management and coping
- Anger management
- Relationship concerns at home, work or school
- Self-esteem
- Work stress and conflict
- Family conflict
- Parenting

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
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.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Health and Care Professions Council
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
