About me
Since Covid I am working exclusively online, with video calls or by telephone. I can help with strategies to manage anxiety and stress. I have over 25 years experience as a Counsellor in primary care (general practice/GP surgeries) and as a Counsellor and Family Worker in a substance misuse agency.
I work with stress, anxiety and depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, bereavements, chronic health conditions, PTSD, fear of falling, relationship issues and much more - in general, working with the problems that many of us encounter in our daily lives. I attempt to create an honest working relationship where we can address the issues that impact your life. I attempt to be practical; you want resolution.
I also work with people who are terminally ill using Dignity Therapy techniques. Home visits are available for this.
I have extensive experience of supervision and the development of therapists in training. I am willing to negotiate discounts for those in training for both therapy and supervision.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
