About me

Are you looking for looking for a professional, compassionate, and non-judgmental person with whom you can explore your thoughts, actions and feelings freely, and get back to being 'you' again? 

I can offer you this by listening with warmth and understanding, and working alongside you to help you make sense of your experiences, your relationships, and how you feel in your life today. My aim is to provide a safe, accepting, and supportive environment where you feel truly heard—so you can reconnect with yourself and move forward with clarity, confidence and a greater understanding of yourself.

My specialism is working with woman who have low self-esteem, low self-confidence, anxiety & depression, and during life transitions like the menopause. My goal is to help you rediscover your unique strengths, inherent value, & a renewed sense of well-being through compassion & understanding. Embracing the unique person you are in a professional environment.

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.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
