About me
Have you reached a point where you are feeling overwhelmed on a regular basis? Everything just feels stressful, and your tolerance levels are low. You might be dealing with work, family, friends, your relationship or perhaps you are not in a relationship which is compounding how you are feeling. Maybe you cannot quite put your finger on it, but you know that something feels off – you just don’t feel like yourself. Perhaps you aren’t enjoying the things you used to, you are finding it hard to relax, you feel anxious or are overthinking things. We are living in a fast paced a world where feeling uncertain, anxious, and overwhelmed can be commonplace but it does not have to be this way.
Talking with friends and family about how you are feeling can help, be of great support and be someone to off load to. However, that can often come with advice, opinion or judgement which can leave you feeling unheard and alone. It might even be that you do not feel you can talk to the other people in your life about what is going on for you. I offer a space where you can feel heard and validated.
Counselling is a collaborative process. Together we can look at what is going on for you. We will explore your emotions whether that be anger, loneliness, sadness, fear etc. We will work together to help you to understand yourself better; to find meaning, purpose, and balance in your life so that you feel less overwhelmed by the demands of the modern world.
Please get in touch today to start working towards living the life you want.

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.
