About me
I offer a non-judgemental, accepting, confidential environment where you, the client can share your thoughts and feelings. I work with adults, adolescents, children, families and couples. My space is warm, and welcoming. Using a holistic approach we can work together on whatever you need. I have a wealth of experience.
Are you feeling anxious, depressed, sad, alone, having panic attacks. Are you worried about a loved one. Do you feel as if you aren't sure where to turn to for help. I'm here to listen and support you on your journey.
Using verbal and non-verbal techniques I can tailor the counselling specifically to the individual and to your unique needs through the therapeutic process.
Counselling is not about instruction or advice giving, I do not know you best and I will not tell you what to do. We will form a 'bespoke' relationship, which allows us to work together with respect to support you through the process of change you are looking for.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Further information
I can work virtually and face to face.
The Therapy Shed has it's own entrance and exit, and a warm, caring counsellor to support my clients.
Virtual counselling is highly successful and enables you to be in your own space and comfort. Please contact me to discuss if you are unsure.
I work with couples, individuals and families, of all ages.
Is your relationship not what it once was, are you feeling anxious or depressed? Has the pandemic left you feeling isolated, unheard or anxious. Do you feel you are using measures you aren't comfortable to relieve your stress or form some normality?
I've worked extensively with people managing or struggling to manage their drugs and or alcohol consumption.
I have extensive experience working with children and young people.
Is your relationship feeling different to what it once was? Do you struggle to communicate? Have you lost the connection? Are you keen to get your relationship back on track? I am an experienced couples counsellor.
Adolescent issues such as peer pressure, parental difficulties, risky behaviours, promiscuity, attachment issues and self image, anger, self harm, self-esteem and confidence issues. Parents struggling to understand their children and how to cope with those difficult adolescent years. Maybe family therapy is right for you?
