About me
Hi,
I believe in the great importance of having someone to freely talk to who we can trust to listen, be honest, accepting and compassionate towards us to help us get through difficult times when we feel we cannot manage on our own. I offer this opportunity to my clients within my counselling service on a one to one basis.
Counselling service I offer:
I offer one to one relational therapeutic counselling. Having had years of experience supporting, working with adults in many varied settings in different countries, I feel I can offer you non-judgmental support and a safe environment to freely express and explore what is unsettling you and how to move forward. I have experience in working with stress related issues, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, relationship with food, low self-esteem, feeling stuck and issues around belonging.
Ways of working together:
I work within an integrative model drawing on Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and psychotherapeutic modalities throughout therapy. These are ways of working that we can explore together and draw upon depending on your individual needs and concerns and revisit them as we work during therapy. Having the right tools at the right time can often facilitate a move forward or a shift in perception.
Location:
I offer my sessions at Mentmore (near Leighton Buzzard) on Mondays & Tuesdays - evening appointments available. The cosy therapy room is within easy access by car from Leighton Buzzard, Tring, Aylesbury, Aston Clinton, Dunstable, Berkhamsted, Wendover and surrounding villages.There is free parking and plenty of spaces on site at the therapy room.
I also offer sessions at Tring on Friday afternoons.
***Half price initial assessment session, evening and day-time appointments are currently available***
I am currently offering half price initial assessment sessions at £20. Subsequent sessions charged at normal £40 rate.
Other Experience:
I have worked in the public health sector for many years supporting adults and young people with behaviour change. I have knowledge and experience of the pressures of working in the public sector especially in local government, professional and self-employed settings

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
