About me
If you are looking for friendly, professional support to help you through difficult times, please get in touch.
- I currently offer online and telephone counselling and am a qualified, experienced counsellor.
- I work with a range of things that you might need help with including anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, panic attack’s, depression, bereavement and helping cope with disability and chronic illness like cancer, long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome/ME (ME/CFS). I am LGBTQ+ inclusive.
- It’s important that I’m the right counsellor for you so I offer a free initial 30 minute chat.
- The price for a 50 minute session is £60. I work as part of a local charity and may be able to offer some subsidised sessions to those on low/no income in the Wiltshire/Dorset and Hampshire area.

A warm friendly welcome waits for you if you choose to make the first step. Call, text or email me today to book your free 30 minute chat to see if I can help you. My times are flexible, your first session could take place within a few days of your call to me.

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.
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.
