About me

Counselling offers a safe, confidential space to talk with a trained professional about whatever is on your mind. It can help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your experiences.

Together, we can explore what feels difficult or important right now, and work towards a way forward that feels right for you. This might involve making changes, finding ways to cope, or coming to terms with things that cannot be changed.

Sometimes this support relates to specific difficulties such as relationship issues, work-related stress, anxiety, depression, or bereavement. At other times, it may simply be about having a space to reflect, be heard, and learn more about yourself.

I offer a compassionate, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your relationships — past and present — early experiences, emotions, patterns of behaviour, or difficult life events.

I work at your pace, focusing on what feels important to you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a CPCAB qualified counsellor (Level 5 Psychotherapeutic counselling) with over 15 years of experience working with mental health and illness within the charitable sector.

I undertake regular clinical supervision and professional development to ensure that my knowledge and practice is safe, ethical and encompassing the latest theoretical knowledge and understanding within the counselling profession.

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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

The above is not an exhaustive list of areas that I am able to work with, and research suggests that it is the therapeutic relationship that is fostered between counsellor and client that is the most important factor in the outcome of therapy.
