About me

I understand that people sometimes lose their way, yet I believe in the strength for each person to find their own path to emotional wellness.  I offer deep level support to facilitate change and self sustaining mental health. I will offer an honest evaluation and an empathic response to your needs and work with you to develop your inner resilience.

I have a variety of experience from working across many different areas of mental health in the last nine years. These include providing counselling for Basingstoke College of Technology, working for the NHS and providing support within Two Saints charities.  I use varying skills and concepts depending on what is suitable for each need or individual. I believe that the most important element to therapy is the relationship and trust that is built.

I work in a discreet purpose built room to ensure confidentiality both in Basingstoke town centre and Priestly Road (Basingstoke). Reaching out for support can feel daunting. However  this is normal and I’ve not yet met someone that has not benefited from reaching out.

How to take the next step
I offer a free 20 minute consultation for us to explore what you need.  Please feel free to contact me for an informal discussion or to arrange an initial session.

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

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).

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
