About me
Are you seeking support, help or guidance?
Welcome to my profile.
At times, life can feel stressful, tough, and even painful. We might find ourselves feeling alone or stuck in our own lives. I understand that it takes a great deal of encouragement, determination, and bravery to make the choice to seek professional support.
I specialise in supporting individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, low mood, trauma, PTSD, abuse, childhood issues, grief, anger, family challenges, and low self-esteem.
My approach is collaborative and empathetic, tailored to meet each client’s unique needs. I have experience working with approaches such as Person Centred Counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy , Gestalt Therapy and Trauma recovery and Mindfulness.
Together, we’ll navigate through your struggles, providing you with tools and insights to overcome obstacles and find renewed hope and purpose. Whether you’re feeling stuck in life or overwhelmed by difficult emotions, I’m here to help you reclaim your well-being and thrive.
Wondering how working with me can provide support ?
- In my practice, I strongly believe that creating a safe, kind and trusting therapeutic relationship helps people to open up freely to discuss problems.
- As a your counsellor, I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space and personalised approach to help you navigate through life’s toughest challenges.
- You don’t have to face these challenges alone – let’s embark on this journey together, where healing and hope await.
I will meet you where you are and be present with you, with understanding in whatever experience you decide bring to the session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Further continuing my qualifications are in trauma work and CBT.
Certificate in Online and Telephone Counselling
I completed my training and qualification while working at a local mental health charity, where I worked with people of all ages and various needs, loss, grief, anxiety and depression, anger, trauma, sexual abuse, domestic violence, relationships, narcissistic partner, suicidal thoughts, spiritual abuse, loneliness or lack of sense in life.
I also have over a decade of professional experience supporting others in their mental health and well-being needs.
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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
