About me

Navigating daily life can be daunting, particularly when dealing with trauma or loss. Such experiences often lead to feelings of isolation and confusion as one tries to navigate their emotions.

Counselling provides support through a range of challenges and emotional states.

In my role as a counsellor, I offer a warm, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, creating a secure environment for you to express your feelings.

With my experience, I will guide you through our sessions as you work through your emotions. My areas of expertise include supporting individuals who have encountered bereavement, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, loss due to suicide, low self-esteem, and trauma.

My counselling approach is integrative, blending Person-Centred and Solution-Focused techniques. This adaptable method enables me to customise the counselling experience to your specific requirements, honouring the uniqueness of each individual. I hold the belief that everyone possesses the innate capacity for self-healing.

I recognise the complexities involved in selecting the appropriate counsellor for your individual needs and expectations. I am available to clarify my methods and services to alleviate any uncertainties and assist you in making an informed choice.

Whether it's face-to-face, over the phone, or online, I provide a safe and confidential environment for you to openly discuss your emotions. Together, we will work towards your goals within the counselling sessions, which may encompass coping with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and grief. Should you have any inquiries, I am here to assist.

Each counselling session is 50 minutes long.

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.

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.

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.
