About me

I am a experienced Person-Centred Counsellor (MBACP) and Embodied-Relational Therapist. I offer support to individuals online, in-person and from natural outdoor spaces. I am an experienced practitioner who has helped many people through challenging life events and overwhelming feelings; from anxiety, depression and low self-esteem/confidence to healing from trauma.

At the heart of my work lies deep compassion and respect for every individual. Life can be tough and we can find ourselves feeling trapped, overwhelmed, hopeless or lost. Counselling can help you to understand your feelings and change the things in your life that no longer serve you.

Starting counselling can feel difficult, but giving yourself the time you need to process and heal is the most valuable gift you will ever give yourself.

Is counselling right for you? Counselling can help you to...

  • manage and move beyond anxiety, fear, anger and depression
  • deal with major life changes (bereavement, relationship break down, parenthood, miscarriage, divorce/separation, illness)
  • accept different parts of who you are
  • recognise and understand patterns in the way you relate to others and yourself
  • process and heal from past experiences and trauma
  • stop destructive behaviour (anger-management)
  • find clarity, joy and satisfaction in your life
  • cope with eco-anxiety and other feelings that have come up in relation to the climate and ecological breakdown.

What to expect...? Firstly, via email, we will arrange an initial 30-minute consultation. At this meeting, you will have the opportunity to ask me any questions about the way I work and I will find out a little about you and how counselling can help you at this time. Then we can arrange a regular time and day for our sessions going forward.

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.

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.
