About me
I am a qualified counsellor offering face to face and virtual and counselling. I work with adults and young people (age 11 plus). I also offer supervision - I am currently offering 50% discount for new supervision clients.
I provide clients with a confidential, non-judgmental space to work through issues they might be experiencing. I help clients increase self-awareness, self-compassion and identify any negative patterns in their lives and relationships. I aim to empower clients to enable them to make the changes they need to improve their sense of wellbeing.

Extensive experience dealing with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, work related stress, relationships and family, low self-esteem, bereavement. I work with adults and young people (aged 11 plus).
I practice person-centred counselling and integrate a variety of techniques, tailored to the individual.
I worked with a local counselling agency for a number of years prior to starting up my private practice.
I attend regular supervision which is a requirement of the BACP, the ethical body to which I belong. I also complete regular CPD including lectures and courses.
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.
