How can I help?
I am a Trauma-Informed Person Centred Counsellor with training in integrative techniques and I will customise each session to suit your individual needs. My aim is to support you as we work through your issues together, helping you reconnect with your inner values and grow your sense of self-worth and resilience.
With over 20 years of experience in management, I have a wealth of experience in supporting people with work related issues, and I am a passionate advocate for health and well-being in the workplace.
I offer online, telephone, and face to face counselling sessions, and my availability is Monday to Friday during the day. Additionally, I offer home visits within a 2 mile radius.
My practice is based in a quiet area of Oadby - free parking is available.
I am a member of the BACP and NCPS and am on a register that has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
What to expect from the first session

Member organisations
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.
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.

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.
