About me
Hello,
I specialise in couple relationship therapy, young people, individuals and bereavement. Following my initial training I worked and studied with Relate for a number of years. l undertook further extensive training in children, young people and families.
I keep up to date with current thinking and training around managing anxiety mental health and issues relating to family relationship.
Perhaps you have had a bereavement and feel talking to a grief counsellor might be helpful? It can be supportive and cathartic just to talk.
Is the situation at home difficult at present ? Would a counsellor help you clarify what is going on for you and identify and work on issues and goals which might help especially in situations where your partner or family members goals seem different to yours.
Could I help you find a way forward be it to continue with the relationship or finding a way to break up with as little hurt as possible on both sides.
The sessions are for 60 minutes and I work face to face, on line and by phone.
Please feel welcome to email me or call to ask any questions you may have or to arrange an initial telephone conversation.
I am Accredited and Registered with the BACP and hold a current DBS certificate.
I have in the last five years trained as a supervisor and hold a Diploma in Supervision from.CSTD. Supervision is for everyone who wants to improve their skills be it in leadership, managerial or as a therapist. It's useful to talk through things and view the issues through a different perspective using the seven eye model.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Emotionally focused therapy (EFT)
EFT is usually a short-term (8-20 sessions), structured approach to couples therapy formulated in the 1980's and has developed alongside the science of adult attachment and bonding to expand understanding about what is happening in couple relationships and to guide therapists.
