I am a Person-Centred/Experiential Counsellor/Psychotherapist with a first class BA(Hons) degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy, working in an emotion-focused way. I am passionate about counselling and my aim is to provide a safe space, and my full presence, to listen to you. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space which will hopefully enable you to share whatever you wish, to help you to make positive change in your life.

I am an experienced counsellor/psychotherapist working with adults with a wide range of difficulties.

I have previously worked for Seedlings, YPAS, providing counselling sessions to children in primary schools and I have worked for Brighter Horizons providing counselling in primary and High Schools. I have worked at a Family Centre and have extensive experience of working with risk and safeguarding.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.

Key details

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

Free parking at both Ormskirk and Wigan locations at the side of the buildings.
