About me

I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor with 12 years' post graduating experience and am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy with all the necessary professional insurances in place for online and face to face sessions. I also have a current DBS check in place. I provide a warm, empathic service where Clients can explore their concerns without fear of judgement.

If you're unsure whether or not Counselling is for you, please feel free to contact me for an informal chat or text me your details and I'll ring you back at a mutually convenient time. Most important for me is being 'real', being genuine during the session with the person in front of me.

Training, qualifications & experience

I achieved the HND in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy via the University of Glamorgan in 2012. I have a wide range of experience of Counselling adults and young people with a range of issues including bereavement and loss, suicidal feelings and thoughts, anger and difficulty regulating emotions, generalised anxiety, depression, issues with self-harm, adverse childhood experiences and past trauma, OCD behaviours and substance misuse as well as family conflict and difficulties within relationship. I also have significant experience of supporting individuals with their self-development as a whole and of helping them develop resiliency and emotional intelligence.

As an Integrative Therapist, I would look to incorporate a wide range of therapies holistically with each client as an individual and unique human being. One approach does not fit everyone! I would often explore valuable Mindfulness-based CBT coping strategies with clients in order to help them manage their emotions on a daily basis outside the counselling room and it can sometimes be useful to conduct sessions outside on a pleasant 'Mindful' walk in the countryside or at a beach to explore techniques to their fullest.

If you cannot contact me by telephone call, it may be that I am in a Counselling session so please feel free to leave a message on my mobile number or send a text leaving your contact details and I will return your call as soon as I can.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

DBS check info

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
