About me

NOT CURRENTLY TAKING NEW CLIENTS CBT/Integrative Counselling available in Kenilworth and surrounding areas for adults. I work with people who are having difficulties in areas such as abuse, trauma, addiction, anxiety, stress, depression, eating disorders, panic attacks etc, and I specialise in codependent, dysfunctional relationships often associated with people affected by someone else's behaviour.

My work is focused on supporting you to revive and rekindle your potential - I believe passionately in supporting clients to a new view of their own self-empowerment. We will work on finding understanding, coping strategies, tools and new ways of thinking that will help you to in effect become your own therapist. You are the expert in you and I become your side-kick during the exploration of your issues, bringing a non-judgemental fresh perspective. I believe in working with a message of hope, at your pace, and with your goals at the forefront of our therapeutic relationship.

My approach is to collaborate with you and I think it is important you feel that you can work with me. If you would like to call me in the first instance to talk about your concerns please feel free to do so - 07545 486247.

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.
