About me
I am a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor, and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists).
I am committed to delivering a warm and professional way of working, to suit your preferred way of working and a specific learning style.
I have specific interest and experience in the Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis theories, and Sand Tray Therapy.
The services I offer
- Face-to-Face Counselling in my private practice in Paignton. I provide a warm, safe, secure and confidential environment.
- Walk and Talk Counselling, this is counselling in motion, I find it works well if you maybe feeling trapped, stuck or confined in your life. You may feel by being physically active can help ease your tensions, give way to new ideas, and to help you move forwards.

I like to work with warmth, openness, empathy. I believe counselling is a collaborative process where we work together, side by side, working through anything you wish too explore at your own time and pace.
I would be privileged to travel with you on your journey of self-discovery, to support and stand by you every step of the way.
As a BACP member I adhere to their Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy, this includes boundaries around confidentiality and safety, following their professional conduct procedure.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
