About me
Are you feeling......Stressed? Worried? Anxious? Fed up? Depressed? Or just don't know who you are anymore or why you are feeling how you are feeling right now, but just know that it doesn't feel right? You have reached the right place.
You may have reached a place in your life where things just don't make sense any more, you may be stuck and unable to move forward, make changes or feel that you will be able to achieve previous goals and aspirations you have set yourself. Well, all is certainly not lost and together we can find the right plan for you. This may involve goal setting and exploration into what it is that may be holding you back but also looking at your past and unpicking those messages that we have grown up with, that may, deep down be holding you back - it's surprising what you can discover! Or maybe you already know what's going on for you but just can't find the way forward.
Whatever your reason- you are here, in the right place! If you suspected a broken bone, you would visit the hospital for an x-ray in order to get the treatment you need. When life gets tough or you are having a bad time due to your present circumstances or maybe something happened to you recently or in the past, why not seek someone that you can speak to?
I can offer a confidential, non-judgemental and comfortable space for you to talk and explore whatever you need to at a pace that is comfortable for you via an online, safe platform called Zoom, so as you can be in the comfort of your own home.
I work in a person-centred way, which means I believe you are your own expert. I am not here to tell you what to do but what I am here for is to listen, support and help you find a way forward that is best for you. I also like to work creatively and if this is something you would like, we can work together using a range of counselling tools to help you.
I understand it can be difficult to enter therapy - you have already made the first move by looking here for a counsellor that you feel you may be able to work with.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

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.
