About me

Hello and welcome.

Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, simply talking can be tremendously helpful. If you have never experienced counselling or psychotherapy therapy before you may not be aware of the positive effect talking to someone who is trained to listen and respond effectively can have.

I can offer you that opportunity to talk and be listened to and explore all your thoughts and feelings and help you to discover a way through them.

I will help you to tell me what is concerning you by listening carefully without making any judgements; make better sense of what is troubling you, your experiences, thoughts and emotions; and recognise patterns of behaviour, providing you with better self-awareness.

When you allow yourself the time and space to be heard, and when you feel someone is really listening to you, it can enable you to have the strength to make positive and lasting changes.

Therapy can equip you to move on more easily, increase your resilience and enable you to make positive changes going forward - all you need to do is take the first step.

I work with individuals and couples.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and have been seeing clients for 6 years.

Alongside my private practice where I see individuals and couples from the age of 18, I am a volunteer counsellor at a charitable agency.

Prior to obtaining my qualifications, I worked in the corporate sector so have a great understanding of the effect work pressures can have on your personal life. I left that world to pursue a career in counselling and psychotherapy which allows me to use my skills and experience to help others to improve their lives.

Whilst training I also became a volunteer for Victim Support where I worked with victims of serious crime, supporting them through the process.

Learning, by its nature, is ongoing and I continue to attend courses on a regular basis which allow me to offer my clients the most relevant and effective support and guidance.

I am confident I will be able to help you to confront and tackle whatever difficulties you may be facing and am trained to do this across a wide range of issues.

  • Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling
  • COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapies) couples therapy

Member organisations

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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy

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.
