About me
I am an Accredited Counsellor and my aim is to offer a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore your emotional challenges with you. With bringing empathy and compassion, this can help you with expressing feelings and trying to make sense about what your deeper challenges are.
I will be able to help you to manage challenges in life, such as anxiety, depression, stress, health issues, bereavement and relationship difficulties. As part of my work, I create a therapeutic relationship between us, detecting what your needs are and if you wish to, consider making changes in your life. Your autonomy, your overall wellbeing mentally and physically.
Whether you are dealing with a main focus, something you would like supported with or a general sense and feeling something is not quite right, I can help you to unravel the problem, find the root causes, where they have stemmed from and consider how to move forward. This is an approach looking at underlying patterns of behaviour. The focus may involve exploring past experiences in life. This maybe influencing your beliefs and thoughts, therefore affecting relationships in the here and now.
If you feel you are ready to begin your journey, understanding more about 'you' and hear your 'own voice', I'd invite you to contact me for any questions about how I work and how I can help you.

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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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.
