I am an experienced professional with a passion for helping people and a proven track record of delivering results. By deciding to make positive changes in your life and having the courage to seek support, you've taken a significant first step. I can help you navigate through difficult life experiences, move forward, and lead a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

People from all walks of life and backgrounds seek my guidance for trauma recovery and to gain tools and techniques that facilitate healing and personal growth. With over 10 years of professional, hands-on experience, I bring a warm, caring, accepting, and appropriately challenging approach to my work.

Would you like to...

Feel less low and anxious or recover from depression and feel lighter.
Address low confidence and low self esteem and feel better about yourself.
Heal from grief, bereavement, loss or a break-up and feel there is hope.
Manage anger, sadness, frustration, disappointment and feel unburdened by negative emotions.

Consider your options and make a big decision, feeling more empowered.
Find more meaning and contentment in life and feel gratitude.

I draw on my experience in business prior to becoming a counsellor and psychotherapist, which helps me understand the various demands and dynamics that arise in a wide range of workplace environments. 

I am a fully-qualified BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist and I adhere to the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy code of ethics. 

 I provide a fully confidential personal counselling service, treating a wide range of psychological, emotional, family and workplace related issues. 

In counselling with me you will be able to let out what is troubling you and effectively process any emotions attached to your experiences. You will be supported and appropriately challenged to reach your goals and make real and lasting positive changes. I provide practical lifelong tools that you can use going forward, helping you feel empowered with choice and control over your life and feeling equipped with the skills you need.

You may come to counselling to offload something you have never spoken about, or to address something that has never been fully resolved, or go to greater depths. Whether this is short-term for a few sessions, medium term of a year or two, or longer work, I can help you.

Are there many people in your life but no one you can talk to because you don't want them to feel burdened? Or maybe friends are few and there isn't anyone around to confide in? I can give you time and space to talk about whatever is worrying you. 

I can help you develop resilience and personal growth and a sense of choice and control about how you move forward. We will discover your goals and review our work frequently to ensure it meets your needs and expectations.

I consistently see tangible and life-changing results during my work with people from all walks of life and backgrounds with a diverse range of challenging life experiences. I offer a range of counselling approaches to provide the right support to meet your individual needs.

Whilst it can feel daunting to share things for the first time, you may find a sense of relief by getting things off your chest. Living with unresolved problems can be even more distressing and can prevent you from living life fully. Is now the time for that to change? 

I can help you with (this list is not exhaustive, please contact me to see how I can help you);
Abuse, ADD / ADHD, Addictions, Anger management, Anxiety, Autism spectrum, Bereavement, Cancer, Child related issues, Chronic fatigue syndrome / ME, Cultural issues, Depression, Disability, Health related issues, Identity issues, Infertility, Loss, Menopause, Men's issues, Mood disorder, Obsessions, OCD, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Pregnancy related issues, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Sexual identity, Sexuality, Spirituality, Stress, Substance Dependency, Trauma, Women's issues, Work related issues

Meeting online allows you to access support from the comfort of wherever you may be. With the flexibility of remote work and accommodating employers, you can seek assistance at any time during the day. All you need is an internet connection and a quiet, secure space, whether it's at home, your workplace, or even abroad while on holiday or business. I offer a free-of-charge 20-minute introductory session so you can see how it feels before meeting regularly.

Trainee Counsellors:

I have extensive experience supporting students during their counselling training and I have supervised and developed the practice of counsellors as they enter private practice.

I provide a safe, trusting and wholly empathic space in which to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences both past and present. Working through transferences as they arise within our therapeutic relationship will help you become more aware of the impact of past experiences and relationships on your life today. Being able to explore this openly, honestly, with curiosity and genuineness and without judgement is a fundamental relational aspect of the way I work.

Concessions are available for trainee counsellors at £75 per 50-minute session, fixed for the duration of your training which protects you from any interim fee increases until you have completed your training and are qualified

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

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.

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).
