About me
Are you struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or experiencing low moods? Perhaps you’re finding it difficult to navigate a challenging life event or relationships in your life.
I offer a warm, supportive space where you can explore what’s brought you to counselling, at your own pace and without judgement.
Often these feelings can lead you to feeling stuck and lost, not knowing what you need for yourself. Counselling can make a significant impact to you and your life, providing you with the space and time to better understand yourself and your needs.
My approach
It can be hard to explain how you're feeling to other people without a fear of being misunderstood or feeling like a burden. I can help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings without judgement, but with empathy and understanding.
I’m a humanistic integrative counsellor, which means I see you as the expert on your own life. My role is to help you access that inner understanding, offering guidance, challenge and insight along the way.
What working together looks like
The relationship between us is central to our work. In weekly sessions we might explore:
- patterns in your behaviour and relationships
- your sense of self
- your feelings, even those that you keep hidden from others
- your experiences of your early years and how these continue to shape your relationships, self-worth and emotional wellbeing today
I work particularly well with women who...
- are in their 30s, 40s and 50s
- feel they've lost themselves beneath the roles they fulfil
- are navigating motherhood, relationship changes, career changes or menopause
- are curious about how childhood relationships continue to shape their adult life
- want to understand why they think, feel and respond the way they do
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained at the Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling, where I undertook a level 6 diploma in humanistic integrative counselling. I am a registered member of the BACP (membership number 00980056). The BACP Register is a public record of counsellors and psychotherapists who meet or exceed the BACP's recommended quality standards. These standards cover training, supervision, continuing professional development and a contractual commitment to the BACP's Ethical Framework.
In addition to running my own counselling practice, I worked for the Low Cost Counselling Service in Bath, providing counselling to those on low incomes, those who are unemployed, students, and those in receipt of state benefits. I also worked for two years with students at Bath Spa University in their wellbeing team as a counsellor.
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.
