- I offer short and long-term counselling
- Fully registered BACP member

From my own experience of speaking to a counsellor, I felt genuinely heard, valued and knowing that I was being listened to in a safe, confidential & non-judgemental space, empowered me to see that I wanted to go forward to support & counsel others.
Therefore, I trained and qualified as a person-centred counsellor and I have been studying ever since qualifying a decade ago.
I am a member of the BACP & hold an Enhanced DBS.
I work with an honest, non-judgemental & compassionate approach.
As a counsellor I feel incredibly humbled, hearing and supporting peoples unique journeys.
I hold the information shared with me in the strictest of confidence & with the utmost respect.
When your counselling starts with me, we can discuss the way you want your life to move forward positively for you.
I offer a FREE 30 minute consultation, where we can discuss the counselling support you are looking for.

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.
