About me
All of us have times in our lives when we struggle with different things, and it can be really helpful to speak to someone who is outside of your close network of family and friends. I offer a relaxed, friendly, emotionally warm, safe and confidential space. I believe it takes a lot of courage to take the first step into counselling, to make that call, to text or to send that email, and people come for all kinds of reasons. It's not always traumatic events that bring us to counselling, however big or small your worries are, here is a good place to start. A good relationship between client and counsellor is one of the most reliable predictors of effective and successful therapy.
I have been a counsellor for over 15 years now, working for various organisations. I have experience in working with a range of ages from 5 - 85+ with a vast range of issues from anxiety, generalised anxiety, depression, feeling sad, family issues, low self esteem, low confidence, bereavement, feeling overwhelmed, feeling lost, anger management, abuse and more.
Our aim together would be for us to explore how life is for you, where I will listen with out judgement but with empathy at how you feel , and how you react during certain situations, working towards finding solutions that work for you, based on a self reflective experience, making you more self aware.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I use different models of counselling, weaving them and tailoring them to suit the unique individual needs of each of my clients. This can be either open ended or short term, which we would discuss in our initial consultation.
I believe that when I welcome you to counselling, you leave everything at the door and walk in purely as a human being - no different from me.

I offer supervision for counsellors and other professionals

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.
