My Commitment to Your Well-being
My extensive experience spans community drug and alcohol services, NHS settings, and the private healthcare sector in and around Gloucestershire. This diverse background has provided me with invaluable insights and a comprehensive understanding of various mental health challenges. I am dedicated to ongoing professional development and regularly engage in supervision and additional training to continually enhance my practice.
You can be assured of a highly professional and ethical service. I am a Registered Member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the Addictions Professionals registration body and network (AP). I also hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate and am registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), ensuring your privacy and safety are paramount.
Choosing the right therapist is an important decision. That's why I offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute initial telephone call. This is an excellent opportunity for us to discuss your needs, for you to ask any questions you may have, and to see if we're a good fit.

Member organisations
school 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 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.
