About me
My background is one of nursing within the NHS. In 2013 I qualified as a counsellor and worked in both roles for a number of years. Now I have retired from the NHS to concentrate on my private practice. I am also trained to provide counselling supervision. I offer one to one counselling, couple counselling, and supervision either face to face, on line or by phone
If you feel low in mood, or depressed, (including postnatal depression), have anxiety, phobias, low self esteem, post traumatic stress disorder, health anxiety, work or relationship problems, or just feel that something in your life is not quite right but do not know why, then I will be glad to hear from you. Together we can discuss the best way forward in a gentle manner and tailor the work to your needs and wishes. I also offer couple and relationship counselling and am happy to work with couples in need, enabling the relationship to move forward to a more secure and happy place.
I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and follow their code of Ethics
I provide a professional service in a private and comfortable setting. I offer a confidential space for you to explore your difficulties guided by the counselling process.
I believe counselling can make a huge difference to how you view yourself, your relationships and your life. Why not contact me for an initial chat? You can then decide if counselling would be right for you with no obligation.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
