About me
Like many of my colleagues, I became a counsellor following a successful previous career. I spent many years as an architect, before taking a stroke in 2008 and decided to retrain, bringing a rich and varied life experience to my counselling work, along with a long held interest in the psychology of ‘why we do what we do’ and a desire to really listen and help you on your journey; despite the difficulties you are facing.
I am a wheelchair user and see clients in a small, but cosy and private space. I like to work by blending various therapeutic approaches appropriate to your needs, but it is important to me that we build trust by working at a speed you feel comfortable with.
In addition to my private practice, I do regular voluntary counselling with an organisation supporting those bereaved by suicide; through which I have worked with a wide range of people from different cultures, beliefs, age and gender.
I adhere to the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) Code of Ethics, which underpins the respectful and confidential way we will work together and that is important for both of us.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
