About me
Are you feeling overwhelmed by recent or past events, or perhaps finding your current relationships complicated and unhappy? Taking the first step to talk can feel daunting, but you don’t have to face these difficult experiences alone. I am a qualified therapist with a degree in Person-Centred Counselling offering a safe, confidential space for adults of all ages to explore their concerns.
I chose Counselling as a career because I know that anyone can feel grief, loss, anxious and alone at some point in their life. Through years of research into the therapeutic relationship, I have gained great faith in the power of a supportive connection. My practice is grounded in both this evidence-based understanding and a deep compassion for the human experience.
In our sessions, there is no pressure to dive deep immediately; it is simply a chance for us to meet, for you to share what is on your mind, and for us to see if we feel like a good fit for one another. Whether it is learning to set healthier boundaries, finding coping mechanisms for anxiety, or simply having a space to process a painful loss, we will work at a pace that feels right for you.
My role is to facilitate your decision-making process in a judgement-free way. My main aim is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, and find a way forward in your life that is consistent with your own values and aspirations.
Training, qualifications & experience
I specialise in young people, adults and Bereavement Counselling. I am also a member of The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and provide each client with an opportunity to explore and express themselves confidentually, with a skilled and supportive listener.
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.
