About me

COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY

Unsure as to whether I am the right therapist for you?

I can offer you a free, no obligation to continue, first session to help you decide.  
For the past 20 years, I have been using counselling skills both as a therapist and as a nurse to support people from diverse backgrounds with a wide variety of issues. 
 
My own personal experiences of suffering, loss and trauma, and healing through counselling has enabled me to have a deeper understanding and empathy for my clients. 

Whatever you are struggling with right now, be it anxiety, depression, relationship issues, work stress, bereavement or difficult life choices, I can provide you with a confidential, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, free from judgment or shame. 

I work on an appointment-by-appointment basis, without the need for long-term commitment. Even a few sessions of being heard and feeling listened to can bring insights and hope that you have not had before. I invite you to experience that for yourself and decide whether I am the one to support you through your unique journey of healing and recovery. 

SUPERVISION

I provide online supervision to both trainee and qualified counsellors. My supervisory training was an integral part of my BA Honours degree in Counselling Studies.

My supervision approach is primarily person-centred, integrated with the developmental and seven-eyed model. I benefit from the guidance of my own qualified BACP supervisor who oversees my work. 

Trainee counsellors ideally need to be trained in a person-centred or integrative approach and be members of the BACP. 

I offer concessionary rates to trainee counsellors. 

"There is no spiritual being who can be so useful as a good human supervisor."

(John Rowan - psychotherapist)

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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).
