About me
Hi, thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
It can be difficult to know which way to turn when considering working with a therapist.
I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor, I work with a Person-Centred approach and integrate other modalities through a person centred lens.
So what does that mean?
Through person-centered therapy, I provide a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a none judgmental environment.
With Person Centred therapy the back bone of my approach , I also incorporate CBT and solution focused therapy into the sessions if this is required by you, the client. This ensures we work with the best tools so you to get the most out of your therapy for your individual needs.
My therapy room provides a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a none judgmental environment.
The most important part to any therapeutic working relationship is to create and build a trusting and equal relationship between myself and my client. From building this foundation, I have experienced clients feel understood and safe, they feel able to voice their thoughts and feelings they may have not been able to say to others and at times, even to themselves.
Do you feel like you’re at a crossroads?
Is it difficult to talk to family or friends about how you are feeling?
Are you feeling like you need some extra support?
If this sounds familiar to you, counselling help’s by offering a space solely dedicated for you to speak freely to an impartial person and helping to gain an understanding of the ‘why’ behind everything, whilst knowing it is a confidential and none judgmental safe space.
Counselling work's with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, family dynamics, health issues and much more.
Mental health and resilience can be difficult to maintain, any form of life stressors can all have a profound and varying effect not only on our mental but physical health as well.
I’ve worked with clients who have brought a whole range of issues; including anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, abuse and bereavement.
I offer a free 30 minute initial meeting where we can get to know each other a little and discuss your needs.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society
This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations.
In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
