About me
I offer a non-judgmental, accepting, confidential environment where you the client can share your thoughts and feelings. I work with adults, adolescents, children, parents and children together. 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 their 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
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.
