About me
A fully qualified counsellor & clinical supervisor. Qualified & experienced with phone & secure online counselling & supervision. Experienced working with clients across the spectrum of ages, cultures, sexual orientation and religious backgrounds, my core training is person centred. I offer an integrative approach across modalities such as cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused and creative arts for those clients that find it helpful to explore troubling thoughts and feelings from a different perspective. Offering telephone and on-line therapy, I work in a collaborative, empathic and non-judgemental manner. As a member of the BACP, NCS & BPS I adhere to their ethical frameworks. My specialist training & experience is with children & young people, survivors of abuse (physical, sexual and emotional), depression and anxiety. I have worked with clients from 4 years to 68 years old. As well as private practice, I work with charities. Appropriate therapy & support can be provided for survivors of abuse (pre- and post-trial) and those with experience of significant trauma or helping clients with the 'tough challenges' that sometimes are overwhelming. I offer an initial consultation to assess if counselling is right for you at this moment in time and to ensure that we feel that there is the therapeutic connection that is necessary for our work together. There will be no charge for this initial consultation.
From October 2023 I will be offering a limited number of face to face counselling appointments in Kings Lynn. Price will be £60 per session. Initial consultation will remain online only.
In supervision I aim to provide a safe, empathic and non-judgemental space where issues can be discussed and considered openly. Supervision sessions are by telephone or on-line, and group supervision sessions can be arranged if appropriate. I am able to provide supervision for all professions (counsellors, clinicians, teachers, police, social care) and groups up to 13 members. My supervision practice is based on the BPS structured and collaborative (SAC) principles. Having a master's in counselling children and young people and further qualifications in working with survivors of abuse, supervision for those working in these fields will be enriched.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, DUE TO HIGH DEMAND, FROM 1st January 2025 I HAVE LIMITED AVAILABILITY FOR NEW CLIENTS. .
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH COUNSELLING & SUPERVISION.

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.

The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
