About me
Hello, here is a little bit about me. I work with adults and young people aged 14+ and have 10 years’ experience as a BACP accredited counsellor. I can offer you a peaceful, calm space to feel welcome, safe, nurtured and heard. Sometimes, we just want someone to understand how we feel and what life is like for us.
In our sessions, we might laugh together, feel sad together, but above all the core of my work is to support you on your journey to understand who you are and hopefully feel better about being you.
I have had previous experience in a variety of settings, including, charities, schools, colleges, and counselling agencies. I am also a registered therapist with Compass education. These varied experiences have given me a wonderful opportunity to work with many different people.
I have extensive knowledge and understanding of SEMH (Social, emotional mental health), ADHD, Autism, learning difficulties, anxiety, depression and mental health conditions.
Training, qualifications & experience
Diploma in Humanistic counselling (CPCAB)
Certificate in therapeutic life story work (Richard Rose model)
20 years+ experience in Social Emotional Mental Health (SEMH) Supporting young people with Learning Difficulties, Autism, ADHD and Trauma.
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.

Further information
I believe that one of the most important aspects of counselling is the relationship. Our first session is not only an assessment of your needs but also the opportunity for you to gain an understanding of how we might work together and whether you feel this could work for you. This is charged at the standard rate but with no commitment to further sessions.
