About me
Welcome, and thank you for choosing to find out more about the counselling service I offer.
I deeply respect the courage it takes to seek support in difficult times and engage in the counselling process. As a naturally warm and empathetic person, my approach as a counsellor is rooted in compassion, collaboration and a respect for your unique experiences. You will be at the centre of all our therapeutic work we create together, and I will provide you and your journey with a safe, supportive, confidential, and judgement-free space for whatever you wish to share.
It can be difficult to know where to begin, you may have a clear sense of what you would like from counselling, or you may feel unsure and simply know you just need a space to talk. Whatever your experience, I’m able to meet you wherever you are on your journey.
Creating a Safe and Supportive Space
As a member of the BACP, I work ethically and safely within the BACP Ethical Framework, holding full practice insurance and a full DBS. I prioritise creating a comfortable and confidential environment where you feel safe, listened to, and understood.

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.
