About me
At times, we all need help to reach our full potential. Working together in a supportive and confidential space, without fear of judgement, empowers you to cope with life’s challenges, and achieve acceptance and meaningful and lasting changes.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified Counsellor with a BA Hons in Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and hold professional indemnity insurance, an enhanced DBS certificate and am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.
I am an experienced counsellor, dedicated to clients’ well-being and growth and work with individuals face to face, or via telephone and online, who experience a range of issues such as bereavement, anxiety, loneliness, traumatic life events, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties.
My service is for you and I understand that a client's primary focus is on the tangible benefits and improvements to their well-being. In my offering as a therapist, you will experience a transformative shift in your capabilities and opportunities. Our innovative solutions will empower you to accomplish tasks more efficiently, make informed decisions with enhanced insights, and navigate challenges with greater ease. This translates not just to professional growth but to an overall improvement in your well-being. You will have the tools to unlock new possibilities, streamline processes, and ultimately, achieve your goals more effectively than ever before. Your success is my priority, and I am committed to providing you with the means to thrive in an ever-evolving landscape
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
My approach is rooted in Humanistic philosophy and principles which promote autonomy (self-governance) and self-responsibility. We all have the resources and resilience needed to confront life's challenges and Humanistic counselling aims to uncover and challenge these inherent strengths.
