About me
Compassionate, BACP-accredited counsellor and supervisor with 25+ years' experience - offering in-person, online, and telephone sessions.
I’m a BACP-accredited counsellor and qualified supervisor with over 25 years of experience working with adults from all walks of life. My background includes working in the NHS, education, and private practice, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.
I believe therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s going on for you and begin to make sense of your thoughts and feelings. Together, we’ll work towards greater self-understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.
I also provide supervision for student and qualified therapists in a supportive, reflective environment.

Member organisations
school 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.
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.
