About me
At times it’s hard to deal with life challenges, to understand how we feel.. it may be that your past is affecting your present, your future… If you feel stuck and need change, I offer a very safe, confidential, empathetic space for us to work together. I have over 20 years experience of therapeutic work and I am very passionate about helping you find a way forward. I can help with all forms of abuse, feelings of anxiety, depression, stress, attachment issues, self esteem, identity issues, sexuality, cultural issues, relationships, sexual problems, narcissistic abuse…
It is really important to me to empower you and help you gain the skills you need, to achieve your goals so that you can move forward and live a more fulfilled life. I offer a free 20 mn initial consultation for you to decide if I am the right counsellor 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.
