About me
Are you feeling alone and worried, I am here for you to provide you with
a safe confidential space to allow you to explore whatever seems to be troubling you.
Are you feeling sad or anxious and don’t seem to know why, I can help you to identify where this is coming from.
You may be suffering with anxiety or the loss of a loved one. You may be facing other major life changes and don’t know who to turn to. I will listen to you in a non-judgemental way.
If you are struggling with something, you can talk to me and I can gently support you to explore it further.
I understand how difficult it can be especially coming to see a therapist for the first time, I will ensure you are fully supported and accepted. With my empathic warm approach I can give you a safe secure place where you can feel truly heard. I will respect you as an individual and help you find a solution to your issues.
I will work with you to help you to gain awareness and confidence, you are not alone, I will support you on your journey.
Feel free to call me for a free no obligation chat.
We can discuss the problems that you want help with, the counselling service that I provide and any questions you may have. This initial session will last for 50 minutes as will subsequent sessions. I look forward to working with you.
Testimonial
I can highly recommend maureen elliot at the cottage project , she's really empathic and pragmatic in her approach . She is also a very patient therapist . I believe I found her through the BACP website. I had seen about 10 therapists before her in a 27 year span and she has been the best one I've ever had for my needs.

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.
