About me
Are you finding life overwhelming? Do you feel alone with your feelings and lost?
You do not have to deal with this alone. I am a fully qualified and experienced Counsellor dedicated to supporting clients through one to one counselling in making sense of and understanding their feelings so they are better equipped to cope with all life’s challenges.
I have experience working across all ages. In particular I have an extensive background in supporting male and female teenagers and young adults struggling with lives difficulties in their transitional years. This can be an overwhelming time in a young person’s life and talking to someone to understand the new challenges we face can help to add clarity and decrease anxiety, arming you with the necessary tools to deal with every day issues or problems.
I ensure to listen so you feel safe enough to explore your feelings and then feel able to move forward. Each person is an individual with their own unique attitudes, beliefs, behaviours and responses to the challenges presented to them. Therefore, I work with you to actively involve you in the direction of your counselling.
I offer a warm, comfortable, safe and non-judgmental environment, where you can speak freely in a confidential setting. Using the Person Centered approach I aim to build rapport with my clients and empathise using a compassionate and nurturing style. My aim is to help support in bringing back the happiness, confidence, normality and strength in lives.
The key to successful therapy is the relationship. Finding a counsellor that you feel comfortable with is extremely important. If you would like to get a better idea of the way I work, or if you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch to decide whether I am the right counsellor for you.
I am an empathetic and caring person and hope to work together with you so that you may live your life in a healthier, more positive way, realising your full potential.
Your confidentiality will be assured within the terms of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) of which I am a member.

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.
