About me

Are you ready to take charge and make positive change? Are you feeling anxious, stressed or overwhelmed with the challenges of life? Are you finding it difficult to communicate how you feel ? Let me help you...

I offer a warm, confidential, and non judgmental environment to talk and truly be heard. I work in a way that empowers you to develop the skills and the confidence needed to bring about long lasting, positive change.

I have experience working with clients of all ages, experiencing a wide range of issues. This includes, but is not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, sensory loss, grief, anger, depression, trauma, sexual orientation, profound sadness and despair, frustration, stress at work, bullying, low self-esteem, confidence issues, abortion, parenting, relationship issues, serious health conditions.

I am a fully qualified person centred counsellor, I work in person, online, or on the telephone however works best for you. I offer a free 30 min introduction and consultation either by telephone or video call. During this we get to know each other and establish what it is that you hope to get from therapy, what your focus is and potential goals you may have. 

All subsequent sessions are charged at £50 per hour.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by the BACP ethical framework for best practice. All work is fully insured.

Member organisations

school Registered / Accredited

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.

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.
