About me
Specializing in helping families to flourish. I offer specialist counselling to children struggling to cope with anxiety relating to everyday life and I also support parents who feel the pressure that modern day life puts upon them.
My adult counselling is very client focused. We explore the problems, frustrations, disappointments and pain in a confidential and non-judgemental way. I work towards empowering the client to make changes within their lives. This very much focuses on the needs and passions of the client, after all, how do we support our family if we feel exhausted, unhappy and disillusioned?
I counsel children from the relaxed environment of my playroom. Offering a safe space to express and understand their emotions and worries. I use of a variety of materials including arts and crafts, crystals and relaxation and mindful techniques for those who struggle to find the words to explain how it all feels. We explore coping strategies and build resilience through self-empowerment.
I am very experienced in counselling children with high anxiety and low self-worth. I also have first hand experience of working with clients with Autism, ADHD, ADD and Dyslexia etc.

Member organisations
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.
