About me
My key motivation as a counsellor is my belief that love and understanding can change lives, and that there is always hope, however dark today may feel. I aim to provide a safe relationship that enables and empowers individuals to face hard realities and make positive changes.
I have worked effectively with people experiencing difficulties such as grief, trauma, relationship issues, depression and anxiety. Prior to training as a counsellor I mentored young adults and worked in research and consultancy.
Training, qualifications & experience
Professional Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, Consultancy PGDip, Genetics BSc Hons, Registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and Accredited member of the National Counselling Society (NCS).
I have done further training around emotional maturity, and I volunteered for Cruse Bereavement Care delivering bereavement support for 18 months, having completed their specialist bereavement training. I have a wealth of experience of working with, listening to and helping people from many walks of life.
Member organisations
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.

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).
