About me
Hello! I'm an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor working with grief, trauma, loss, addiction, depression, anxiety, sex/sexuality, and questioning identity. The goal of our therapy is what you want it to be. That could be healing traumatic events, processing loss, finding a deeper understanding of your self, and/or developing tools and coping strategies.
Working with the Person-Centred approach I aim to meet you as you are: Wholly, unconditionally, and without judgement. I am naturally curious about people, and seek to use this to help facilitate change, growth, and healing. Together we create a safe, nurturing environment to explore the problems which you're navigating, working together to find solutions. Working with me is a collaboration of you and your experiences, where I follow you and actively respond to what you bring to our sessions to assist you identifying what is truly important. We work together, in partnership, to explore and understand where your distress and concerns come from, and gently facilitate ways forward.

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.

Additional information
I recognise that finding the right counsellor to help you can be difficult, especially if this is your first time seeking support, or you have had poor experiences in the past. I offer a free 15 minute introductory call which gives us an opportunity to meet and explore some of the themes bringing you to therapy, and our first session is half-price.
I also offer limited concessionary rates for individuals on low or no income, and can offer longer sessions upon request. Please contact me for more information.
