About me

WHY SEEK COUNSELLING?
Not everyone will have access to good support networks and it's not always easy to talk to those we are close to about our problems. You may have anxiety, relationship difficulties or have been diagnosed with depression, you may just feel you need to off load or that you  feel overwhelmed with life. Whatever the reason counselling gives you the opportunity to talk freely and privately.

1st SESSION 
Making contact may be scary but is the first step. You may not know what exactly you want to talk about in counselling. It may be that things are just ‘not right’ for you. Research has shown that one of the most important aspects in counselling is a good client - counsellor relationship. This is why if you prefer, I can offer an initial session (approx 30 mins) at a reduced rate, where we can have a chat about your situation and what you would like to achieve through counselling. You will have opportunity ask any questions you may have and get a genuine feel for how counselling works.

TELEPHONE AND VIDEO COUNSELLING 

Both types of counselling have been shown to be very effective. They are also an accessible and affordable option for many. For example, if you are unable to travel, have childcare to consider, limited finances, or a hectic schedule telephone/video counselling may suit you better than visiting a counselling practice.

ABOUT ME

Seventeen years ago I first walked into a therapists room, I had no idea what help I needed I just knew I needed something. When I left my final session months later I told the therapist she had saved my life.

Session after session I began to gain some clarity and understanding, to manage some small amount of control of my life again and became more and more intrigued with the process of how counselling worked and more importantly helped.

A couple of years later I did a course - an introduction to counselling, that was the start,  four years later I qualified.  I've sat where a client sits, I know that place and now have the skills and experience to enable others as my first counsellor did for me.

MY APPROACH
I use an integrative style, drawing on several techniques and interventions depending on each client’s needs. Basically a flexible, tailored approach to each individual client. I offer a warm, empathic and confidential service placing an emphasis on creating a respectful therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to look at your issues. I will work alongside you, at your pace, to explore what you choose to bring to the counselling sessions.

WHAT YOU MAY ACHIEVE
Through counselling you may gain insight into patterns of relationships/behaviours, increase your self-awareness, improve self-confidence and feel more able to face challenges. I am motivated to support clients to help find their own way to strength and peace of mind, understanding, acceptance and control of life.

HOW TO ACCESS COUNSELLING
I accept self, GP and EAP referrals. You may contact me via email, phone or my Facebook , Instagram or web pages

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.

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.
