About me
I am an integrative counsellor. I provide all my clients with a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental space where they can feel free to bring any unresolved issues that are stopping or preventing them from moving forward in or with their life.
As a qualified counsellor my aim is to seek and to establish a collaborative process which will support my clients to be able to explore and to understand themselves, I will give them a different perspective, teach them new coping mechanisms/strategies in order for them to address, manage and resolve problems they may or have been experiencing.
My aims are to enable my clients to feel heard, to be listened and understood and to empower all my clients in order for them to reach their full potential. I believe that everyone has the ability to achieve this as individuals.
I have had opportunities to work with various issues in a variety of established charity organisations, as well as running my own private practice. I work as a qualified integrative counsellor, I find this approach and working this way enables me to meet all my client needs.

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.
