About me
Are you finding life challenging? Feeling overwhelmed by daily tasks or expectations? Struggling with a significant change or event in your life?
Whether you are entering therapy to help you manage an existing mental health condition or you're experiencing circumstances that are weighing you down, I'm here to help.
Why choose Counselling?
As a person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist, I will offer you a safe and confidential space to help you express, understand and process your thoughts, feelings and experiences. I can also support you with tools and techniques you can use to make things better or more manageable.
I am a highly-trained and experienced professional who practices under a strict ethical code. This gives my clients the confidence that they are being supported by someone who has their best interests at heart. Counselling is my vocation and I consider it a privilege to support people at difficult times in their lives.
What experiences, challenges and issues do I work with?
My training and experience span a range of areas and I am used to working with many different issues and life experiences. These include anxiety, depression, ADHD, disability, grief, relationship issues (romantic and non-romantic), low self-esteem, trauma, parental and family issues, and big life changes (i.e. divorce and retirement). A full list can be found below. Some clients get help with specific issues, others seek more general support. There is no right or wrong and you won't be limited in what you can talk about.
How we'll work together...
First and foremost, we'll start by exploring what has brought you to therapy and if there are any specific goals you'd like to work towards. Whatever the case, we'll work at your pace.
In the counselling process you may experience a variety of emotions and we can work together to help you understand and explore these when you are ready. Though some sessions might feel heavy with the things you express, others might be celebratory or affirmations. There is no right or wrong.
I will support you each step of the way, wherever you're starting from.
You are important!
My priority is offering you a safe space to feel, think and share; offering you empathy and positive regard in the process. Sometimes I might offer a gentle challenge or reflection, but I won't judge you for whatever you have to say.
We will work together with openness and curiosity and you will always be welcome to ask questions and say what doesn't work for you.
Whoever you are, whatever your background, your whole self is welcome during our time together and I will always try to ensure you feel heard and supported.
Curious?
Finding a counsellor is a big first step to getting support, so I offer a no-pressure discovery call. I can talk you through what to expect and you can decide if I feel like the right person to help.
If you'd like to ask some questions first, you're also welcome to send over an enquiry.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an MSc in Counselling & Psychotherapy which I completed at Keele University. During this time I focused my studies and placement work on romantic-relationships, disability and neurodivergence, LGBTQIA+ therapy, grief (including anticipatory and disenfranchised experiences) and issues experienced by those aged 60+.
Before this, I completed mental health courses with Wrexham University and Telford College.
I also hold a BA(Hons) Philosophy degree where I specialised in interpersonal relationships and ethics.
I have volunteered for five charities including AgeUk, Project 93 (an LGBTQIA+ organisation) and Mind; Counselling, supporting mental health cafes and running creative workshops.
I take regular development courses which have included topics such as unconscious bias, mindfulness and neurodivergence.
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.
