About me
I have over 11 years therapeutic experience of private and organisational integrative counselling, with person centered therapy at my core, and am a member of the BACP and COSRT. I offer therapy with an integrative approach, connecting with your particular needs in order to find and change the limiting beliefs that might be holding you back.
I completed my Diploma in Counselling at Joseph Pristley College qualifying me as a therapist, in 2011. I then returned to education at Leeds Becket University where I gained a BSc in Counselling and psychotherapy in 2014.
Progressing to a Post Grad Cert in Supervision at UCLAN and more recently i qualified as a EMDR and coaching practitioner.
I am currently towards completion on an MSc in Psychosexual therapies and am able to work as a trainee Psychosexual therapist fro a reduced fee for 1:1 sessions, couple of family units.
My early career started with ongoing training alongside 1 academic year of work with children aged 5-11 in a school environment providing 1:1 therapeutic interventions. My work there also included devising and delivering workshops to other staff members within the school environment to help gain and maintain relationships with other piers.
I have 3 years experience working with mental health issues within an organisation, with clients aged 18+ displaying/presenting issues such as, but not exclusive to:
- Trauma
- Loss/bereavement
- Fertility issues
- Relationship issues
- Depression/anxiety
- Abuse – sexual, emotional and physical
- Family problems
I currently have my own private practice which is based in Tingley.
1 of my passions is the work at Barnsley Rape Crisis Service’s where I have worked with clients aged 11-18 previously and currently clients age 18+ who have been impacted by sexual violence. I have 10 years experience in this capacity and extensive additional training in this and similar fields.
For approximately 2 years I have also been working closely with a company to support gambling addicts, providing 1:1 and couples sessions for those impacted by addiction.
I am committed to providing a safe/confidential environment for all clients encouraging a good therapeutic relationship which allows clients to explore their thoughts and support them through anxiety, depression, trauma and life difficulties.

Member organisations
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
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
