About me
I am experienced working online and face to face and have a special interest in supporting people with anxiety and depression, (anxiety and panic, generalised anxiety ,low self esteem, grief, low mood, sadness, stress and relationship issues) . I am a qualified counsellor and clinical supervisor ,registered with the BACP and NCPS . I offer friendly professional support to help you through difficult or troubling times.
I am kind, caring and friendly with the goal of offering you a space where you can explore your feelings in safety and confidence without the fear of judgement. Whether it is to simply 'get things off your chest' or talk more deeply about what is troubling you. I believe being listened to and heard is a really powerful experience and can make a positive difference to your overall health and well being. It could be a past event or something that happened yesterday., it might be that you are not sure why you feel how you feel ,do what you do. counselling offers a time and place for just YOU to explore and find answers,
I am an integrative practitioner and use CBT ,transactional analysis and psychodynamic approaches to meet your individual needs. I will talk to you about what you would like to gain from counselling and support you to achieve this.
I also have previous experience of working with children and young people as a secondary school counsellor supporting young people in particular to overcome the ever growing pressures of school life; exam nerves, stress, anxiety and panic.
I am a registered member of the British association for counselling and psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society ( NCPS) and abide by their Ethical Frameworks for good practice. I attend monthly clinical supervision and regularly up date my therapeutic knowledge and skills through a programme of continuous professional development.

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.
