About me
I am a BACP registered counsellor, offering counselling support within York city centre to young people (16+) and adults. Sessions can be Face to Face, via the Telephone or Online.
Perhaps you feel overwhelmed, anxious or confused by recent or past life events. You may feel stuck; finding yourself making the same unhelpful life choices or struggle with relationships, repeating negative patterns. You may need the space to find some self healing and acceptance. It is not my place to tell you what you need to do, rather we will work together to help you find clarity, move forward and regain control.
My aim is to make you feel heard and understood, without judgement. I do this by building a positive therapeutic relationship with you whilst treating you with care and respect. By drawing upon a range of approaches and techniques, you can expect me to provide a safe and confidential space in order for us to explore together what is going on for you.
You can be assured that I work ethically when exploring your thoughts, feelings and emotions, abiding by the BACP framework. I offer calm and warmth, alongside being non-judgemental, to enable you to build upon your own inner resources.
We will use our first session, without obligation, to assess your needs and ascertain your goals of therapy. We may work short or long term, with regular reviews, to ensure that you are getting what you need.

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 previous background includes leadership roles in both corporate (HR and Finance) and education settings. I therefore have a valuable insight into work related issues such as striving to achieve targets, team dynamics and working relationships. Combine this with other challenges, I can understand how life can feel difficult.
