About me
Dearest you,
My specialities include (but not limited to) supporting individuals through bereavement, grief, anxiety and emotional turmoil.
Sometimes we can't talk to the close people around us about what our pain and loss feel like, sometimes, confiding in a professional can help.
Central to my work is our therapeutic relationship. I provide a confidential space of empathy and impartialness, with the hope that you feel comfortable to bring your whole-self and whatever arises in the process of working together - your inherent wisdom as well as your struggles; your strengths as well as your challenges; your mind, body, and spirit – all of which have many ways of guiding us in how to heal. We will meet each emotion with kindness not judgement; with patience not dismissal.
My clients have experienced a broad range of different and complex issues. These have included depression, anxiety, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, coming to terms with bereavement and loss, spirituality, coping with lifestyle changes, suicidal feelings, sexuality.
For all of us sometimes life goes 'wrong' and counselling can support you find your way through.
I look forward to hearing from you.

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.
