About me
Life can be difficult and for many reasons lead us to feel in need of support. I am here to offer you that support, so you can feel understood and valued as a person.
I am passionate about my counselling role and you will find me dependable, open and caring. The counselling I offer gives you the opportunity to truly be yourself, to understand what is going on for you.
I fully understand that you may be feeling anxious about the thought of counselling. To reassure you, there is no pressure in the counselling I offer. I work with you as an individual, working at a pace that feels right for you. We would only work together with whatever you feel comfortable bringing to the session.
I have helped clients through many difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, panic attacks, trauma, depression, bereavement, relationship issues, family and work concerns, as well as many other challenges.
In addition to my private clients, I have worked with a leading mental health charity, Mind, an NHS medical centre and a charity supporting people with visual impairment.
My Counselling Space
I offer face to face, online or phone counselling to suit you. Whichever you choose, it is a private space where you can feel safe and secure.
If you would like face to face counselling, my room is comfortable and welcoming. It is easily assessible from Leeds, Harrogate and York and the surrounding area. If you are travelling by car, there is free parking.
I also offer walk and talk therapy, providing an opportunity for you to enjoy nature and the outdoors, in the picturesque market town of Knaresborough.
I offer a free 20-minute call (online or phone) for you to get to know me and decide whether you would like to work with me. Please do get in touch and we can arrange an informal chat.

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.

Further information
I use the Person-Centred Approach, but I am also an integrative counsellor, which means that if you would like, I can bring other ideas into the counselling to suit your needs. These include offering a solution focused approach to help you solve you issues and working creatively to help with the communication of difficult and confusing feelings.
