About me
As a Registered BACP integrative counsellor, I believe that there is no 'one size fits all' approach to therapy. Instead of facing difficult times alone, I encourage you to reach out to me. I provide a safe therapeutic environment, where you ca feel comfortable at your own pace. My goal is to establish a relationship based on respect, openness, and trust, with a strong commitment to confidentiality.
During our first session we will work on building this therapeutic alliance and discuss whether counselling is the right fit for you.
A Client Counselling experience: How counselling helped me?
"Counselling has enabled me to look at life differently and slowly develop my understanding about issues in my life relating to studies, work, home and family. It has allowed me to have space to explore my thoughts and feelings in area I have not been able to talk about before or may not have considered before. I am now starting to feel good about myself, more confident and have. more belief in who I am as a person. I am able to use the sessions to work on developing certain areas in my life and take action rather than just worry. So far it has been a challenging yet eye-opening experience"
My Approaches
We are living in a time of uncertainty, where many people are increasingly affected by loneliness, isolation, neglect and rejection -conditions that can lead to mental health issues. I approach each individual without judgment and value the unique perspectives they bring to the therapy. I offer Person Centred Therapy, which fosters an atmosphere of acceptance and respect, allowing you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and create a good supportive environment for personal growth.
If, at any point, during the therapeutic process, you feel stuck, we can incorporate other interventions such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psych-education, and Motivational Interviewing. Whether through one or a combination of these approaches. I will help you find a way to see the light at the end of your journey. I strongly believe that everyone copes at a different levels, so I draw from a variety of skills, knowledge, and experiences to meet your specific needs and create the appropriate environment for building a therapeutic alliance that will support your progress toward recovery.

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.
