About me
I'm an experienced Psychotherapist counsellor with over 10 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of mental health issues including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, self-harm, suicide and suicidal thoughts, loss, self-esteem, self-worth, sexual identity, social anxiety, family issues, relationship issues, generalised anxiety disorder, stress, trauma, bereavement, loneliness, affairs and betrayals, eating disorders, menopausal issues, OCD, work-related issues, bullying, body dysmorphia and more.
I am able to offer Face to face and online counselling sessions.
- I have worked within a youth counselling agency.
- I have run a counselling service within an NHS GP surgery.
- I have worked as a counsellor with students in a local High School as well as offering private appointments.
Making the decision to see a counsellor is never easy but it is the first step in choosing to do something for yourself. There can be any number of reasons why we may need someone to talk to.
I can offer you a safe and confidential space for you to be able to explore and talk about the issue(s) which may be having a negative affect, interfering in day to day living and generally making life unhappy and unmanageable.
Together we can explore your thoughts and feelings. We can look at past and present experiences which may be impacting on you and making it difficult to manage everyday situations. This will enable you to learn more about yourself and any self limiting beliefs, discovering ways to make positive changes for a happier and more manageable way of being.
You can have a look at my website my-counselling.com to find out more about me and how I work.
You can email me to arrange an appointment.
I am a registered member of the BACP and work according to their legal and ethical framework.
I hold full indemnity insurance for my 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.
