About me
Entering into counselling can feel like a big step, and understandably, you may be concerned about what the process involves. Simply put, counselling allows you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental space, giving you the opportunity to see the issues that are bothering you more clearly and to find ways to make the intolerable tolerable.
If you have a history of trauma, are feeling overwhelmed or anxious, are struggling with your interpersonal relationships, or perhaps feel that your life is at a crossroads and you don't know where to turn next, counselling can help.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP Accredited (MBACP Accred) Counsellor.
Working in an integrative and relational way, I adapt my approach to your individual needs. I aim to balance sensitivity with curiosity, supporting you to approach difficult topics in a way that feels manageable, encouraging meaningful and lasting change.
Whether you are looking for support through a specific transition, or a longer-term space to process and adjust, we can find a way of working that feels right for you.
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.
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.

Additional information
Beginning therapy can feel daunting at first, particularly if you’re going through a period of change or uncertainty.
A free and informal chat on the phone about the challenges you are facing can often be reassuring. If you feel that this would be of benefit, you can contact me by telephone or via email to arrange a convenient date and time.
