About me

****If you are considering starting Counselling soon, contact me now to start in September and enjoy your summer, safe in the knowledge you have ticked it off your to-do list!****

Do you feel constantly on edge, overwhelmed by your situation, or struggling to make sense of a relationship?

- Are you tired of pretending you are ok, when you definitely don't feel right on the inside?

- Do you wish you had someone to talk to- someone who won't judge you or tell you to 'cheer up' or 'calm down'?

To explore these questions or any other issues you that are struggling with, please reach out via email in the first instance, so that I can arrange an introductory phone call at a mutually convenient time. I look forward to talking to you!

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a BSc degree in Psychology and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. I continue to develop myself by attending regular CPD training events and receive monthly supervision to ensure my practice is of the highest standard. I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

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.
