About me

I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Over 2000 client hours.

I work to the principles of Relational Centred Counselling in a non-judgmental and empathic manner. This means that in our work together, we will explore your needs to help you understand yourself and your relationships better. I believe that you, as client, have the inner resources to make the life choices that are right for you.

I consider myself a down-to-earth and ethical therapist. I am deeply caring but can also change my style of working to best support you.

I am a LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist.

Training, qualifications & experience

I attained an Advanced Diploma in Relational Centred Counselling (Level 6).

I also attend regular Continued Professional Development workshops,  for example, working with Trauma, Shame, Attachment Theory and working with LGBTQ+ clients.

Wheelchair user access info
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.
