About me
I trained as an Integrative Counsellor and I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I currently work online only. I consider the Client / Counsellor relationship to be key and I offer a person-centred therapeutic approach. I have worked with Clients on many issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, domestic violence and .bereavement. My involvement with a Hospice while training facilitated my greater knowledge and understanding of bereavement, and volunteering with a domestic violence agency allows me to support clients as they struggle. My aim is to offer a safe and confidential space to explore whatever difficulties clients may be experiencing in life, together with acceptance, warmth and a non-judgemental manner. I offer both short and long term counselling.

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.
