About me

Welcome, I am so pleased you found my profile.

I am a relationship therapist that works with individuals and couples.  Through my years of experience I have learned that if we change, our relationships can change.   I know that the relationship we have with ourselves also impact our relationships with others.  We have a need to connect with others, so lets start with you. 

I will support you on your healing journey by not only hearing about your life, your experiences but also helping you understand how this has impacted your life.  We will work together to help you heal and to move toward creating the life you crave. 

I am passionate about my clients, their lives and how I can support them.  I have extensive experience in working with relationships, divorce, separation and relationship breakdown/difficulties, anxiety,depression, IVF and baby loss, disordered eating, body issues, just to name a few .  I have a culturally diverse client base and love working with people from all walks of live. 

How I work

I have a Person Centred and Psychotherapy back ground, with specialist Trauma training.  I offer a integrative way of working where I tailor the work to best suit your needs as I  believe we are all different.

I offer both short and long term therapy, once or twice a week, depending on your need.

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.

Accredited register membership

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.
