About me
I have been a counsellor for 14 years and have experience working with a wide range of concerns including, low self-worth, stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and relationship issues. Additionally, I have worked alongside survivors of domestic abuse and childhood trauma.
Providing an opportunity for people to be heard at the deepest level within a safe and respectful relationship is central to my role as a counsellor.
I bring a gentle, intuitive and creative approach, working alongside you to understand your concerns. Together, we listen carefully to how you feel, emotionally and in your body, allowing you to explore what feels difficult and develop greater insights to guide your understanding.
Sessions move along at your pace and are led by what you bring to our time together.
Giving yourself space to breathe and developing new awareness allows for possibilities to emerge and the opportunity to make different choices to move ahead in a more peaceful and settled way.

Training, qualifications & experience
I have 25 years experience of working with adults and young people. Initially, this was in the education sector and later working with charities supporting people who had experienced domestic abuse. I continue to have an interest in this area of work.
I am a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and my work is guided by the ethics and standards recommended by the organisation. I have been a counsellor for 14 years working in both private practice and within charity settings.

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.
