About me
MAY 2020
Life is challenging right now and things can feel uncertain. With the country in lock down you may find yourself in stressful situations and circumstances. Such rapid changes can be hard to manage, especially if you are on your own. This could bring up a lot of different feelings like fear, anxiety, anger, stress or depression. It is understandable that you may be experiencing a myriad of emotions currently. We can work on any issues that you bring. I can help you make sense of what is happening and how you might navigate the road ahead. You may find a new awareness and clarity that will help you make more satisfying life choices for yourself now and in the future.
I am an experienced, qualified Integrative Counsellor and supervisor and have worked in organizations in Sussex working with young people and adults.
I am currently working with adults on Zoom or on the phone.
Warm wishes

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
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
