About me

Feeling stuck? Ready for change?

Does each morning feel like a battle to go to work, to put on a happy face, when you want to stay at home in bed or on the sofa because everything feels too much? Is socialising draining and overwhelming, rather than fun and something to look forward to?

Maybe the laundry is piling up and you can’t find the energy to do it. You want to look after yourself more, but caring about things like what to have for dinner feels too much.

Questioning: Why am I like this? Why can't I just...?

Take a second to imagine mornings without battling with yourself to face the day and without faking smiles with everyone you know. Imagine feeling less anxious and more like yourself again. It might feel out of reach right now, but together we can figure out how to get you there.

Change can feel scary because even when we feel like things could be better, we worry about how they could feel worse. We can work together on what those worries are and how change can feel more comfortable for you. 

My aim as your counsellor is to give you space to slow down and reflect so you can have a chance to tell your story in your own time. I won't rush or pressurise you into talking about things or making changes. I'm there to be an unbiased person in your life because sometimes friends and family feel too close to a situation. I will empathise and listen, but I will also challenge you if I think there might be something more we need to explore. 

Some of the results that previous clients have experienced are that they don't dread going to work, and they feel more open with their line managers to talk through what they're finding difficult in the workplace to try to find solutions. They also feel better outside of work; they start looking after themselves and find time to do the things that bring them joy.

Now is the time to find out how counselling could help you.

I offer a free 15-minute introductory call to see if we might be a good fit, with no obligation to book in for a first session.

Hesitating about therapy?

Counselling might feel scary and daunting, but it should be the safest and you focused conversation you've ever had. The people who I work with often haven't experienced a space where they can just be themselves and talk about their feelings and wants.

Counselling is somewhere you can say all the things you've been scared to say without being judged.

It can feel strange at first, but talking openly is the first step in being able to figure out why they're stressed, anxious, or depressed (or maybe all three) and how to move forward.

An introductory call helps many people feel more comfortable about counselling; they can hear my voice and see how they feel when talking to me, as well as ask any questions about the process. I offer a free 15-minute call to talk through the counselling process and how it might help you with what you're going through.

Member organisations

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
