About me

Suffering from anxiety? Depression? Struggling with loss? Having difficulties with a relationship? Wanting to move on but not sure where to turn? Counselling can provide relief, helping you to explore your feelings and make sense of the past and present to help you move forward.

As a trained psychodynamic counsellor I have experience working with adults and teenagers facing a range of issues including anxiety, stress, depression, difficulties with relationships, family issues, sexual abuse, affairs and betrayals. My practice offers a confidential and safe place for you to explore what’s troubling you.  Through a series of sessions we work together to make sense of your problems, and help you find some relief.

I believe everyone is unique and I work in a way that is tailored to you.  This could be long term counselling or through Brief Therapy, which is offered for a shorter time frame.  We will always work at a pace that suits you and I offer daytime and evening appointments at my practice or by telephone.

Finding the right counsellor to help you is important. I offer the initial session at a reduced fee to explore what you are looking to achieve in counselling, and give you time to decide whether we can work together.

Couple counselling

I also offer counselling to couples facing difficulties in their relationship.  I work in a non-biased way to help both individuals to be heard and find resolution on whatever issues are present in the relationship.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and abide by their Code of Ethics. I also work as a volunteer counsellor at a local community counselling centre.

I hold the HE Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (BACP accredited) awarded by the University of Surrey. I’ve completed additional training in Mentalisation, Brief Therapy and Bereavement.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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).
