About me

Seeking help is a brave step, and I'm here to support you on your journey. As a BACP registered Counsellor, I specialise in providing tailored support to adults, whether you prefer face-to-face, online, or phone sessions. In our safe, welcoming environment, you'll have the opportunity to express yourself and explore your feelings and experiences.

Choosing to see a Counsellor can be transformative, opening doors to healing and personal growth. Read on to learn how I can assist you.

How Can Therapy Benefit You?

Counselling offers a confidential space where you can delve into your thoughts and emotions, helping you to make sense of your experiences. Together, we'll work towards fostering positive growth and self-discovery. Whether you’re facing challenges related to sexuality, mental health, anger, trauma, cultural issues, women’s challenges, or addiction, I’m here to help you tap into your inner strength.

Unsure if counselling is the right fit? That’s completely understandable. You know yourself best, and I’m here to collaborate with you, creating a personalized approach that aligns with your needs. My aim is to help you unlock your potential for a happier, more fulfilling life. Let’s embark on this journey together.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Please make me aware of any support you may require before attending your first appointment.
