About me
Are you having difficulties in your life or with relationships? Professional counselling can be a positive step towards making lasting changes, understanding yourself better and easing challenging feelings and emotions. It can take courage to make that initial step, so I would like to reassure you that whatever your issue(s), you can be certain of my patience, my empathy and a non judgmental response.
It could be that you are experiencing confusing or unhelpful thoughts and feelings which are making you feel lost, confused, unhappy, angry, desperate, stressed, anxious, tearful, depressed/low mood or perhaps something just doesn't feel right and you can't identify what it is. Counselling can help you to explore your thoughts/feelings in a safe and confidential environment that is free from distraction.
Counselling can also be used for self development & personal knowledge, gaining greater self awareness and insights can help to alleviate anguish and work towards inner peace, self confidence and improving relationships at home and at work.
Having suffered debilitating and painful feelings myself, where I felt stuck in a black tunnel which I couldn't get out of and caught in unhealthy relationships causing confusion and a loss of self, I can meet you with authenticity, genuineness and empathy. There is no judgement, instead you will have a space to explore what you are experiencing and I will do my best to understand and support you by actively listening and being with you whilst trying to make sense of the confusion.
If you are suffering in silence or talking to friends/family is making no difference then counselling could be for you. I really do encourage you to seek the help you need and not endure life in a place you are not enjoying - you have already made a great start by browsing counselling pages and now perhaps you are ready to take the next step of making contact.

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.
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.
