About me
Everyone goes through difficult times in life. But sometimes life can feel a real struggle where people may feel stuck, confused and unable to cope.
The aim of counselling is to give you an opportunity to explore difficult feelings, help you make sense and better manage them. I can help you by listening to you and exploring how you feel. Together we can work through your feelings, get a deeper understanding of who you are and find out what you need to live a more fulfilling and growthful life.
I offer a safe, professional, non-judgmental and confidential environment, counselling adults, adolescents and children. I can offer long term or short term counselling.
Common issues I have experience working with: anxiety, depression, isolation, anger, loss, bereavement, relationships, stress, low self-esteem, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse. This is not intended to be a conclusive list. Please let me know the issue you would like to address to see if I can help!

Member organisations
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
Accredited Register Scheme
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).
