About me

I am a qualified counsellor working with clients who are suffering with a wide range of issues. Prior to starting my own practice, I trained with and then volunteered for a local charity providing counselling, support and empathy to teenagers, young people and adults.

Are you struggling with self-harm, anxiety, depression, family issues, or suicidal thoughts?

As an Integrative Counsellor, I am able to use many different techniques in our counselling sessions and match what I believe will be most helpful to you. This will provide you the tools you need for coping with life when it gets too much; small changes can make a significant difference in our lives.

I have many years of training and experience, however I have also been a client myself and understand how difficult it can be to reach out and trust someone. I can offer you a judgement free and safe space to be able to talk about any issues you have been struggling with, past or present. I believe that creating a trustworthy relationship and choosing the right counsellor for you is essential in counselling.

I can offer you a free 20 minute phone call or Teams videocall, for you to see if we are a good fit and to get a feel if I am the right counsellor for you.

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
