About me
There are many reasons why people come for counselling. Often it's because they are struggling to resolve something in their life, their relationships or themselves. Perhaps they are feeling stuck, weighed-down, confused, anxious or depressed. It could be something current or something from the past that is disrupting their quality of everyday life, causing emotional or psychological turmoil.
Whatever the reason, I see counselling as an opportunity to explore this in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental relationship. Through exploration, self-understanding and awareness, we can increase our capacity to be in healthy relationship with ourselves and with other people. This broadens our perception of ourselves and our available choices, increasing our ability to respond in our lives in healthy flexible ways.
How I work:
As a therapist I use an Integrative-Gestalt approach. This means I am guided by the principles of awareness, authenticity, creativity and balance. My approach is underpinned by the Humanistic view that we all have the capacity to grow and to be in healthy relationship with ourselves and others, and can make positive choices in our lives. Sometimes however, our patterns of thinking, behaviour, internal beliefs or traumatic experiences can disrupt this balance.
I offer my clients a collaborative therapeutic relationship that is warm, non-judgemental and empathic. The focus is on greater emotional/psychological balance through increased awareness, self-knowledge and authenticity. This promotes a healthy relationship with ourselves, with other people and the world around us, allowing us to live more resourcefully.
Our First Session:
Initially, we would have a 15 minute telephone conversation (free) so that I can get an understanding of your reasons for seeking counselling and what you hope to gain from it. If appropriate, we would schedule your first appointment.
In the first session, we will discuss in greater depth your reasons for seeking help and take a history. This helps us both get a broader picture of the difficulties you are experiencing and helps frame our work together. This is also an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have about counselling itself or how I work. In the first session we can mutually agree if we are going to work together, and if so agree appointment times and contract for six sessions, with the option to contract for further sessions as needed. I offer both short and long term therapy.

Abuse, ADD / ADHD, Anger management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Depression, Loss, Post-traumatic stress, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Stress, Trauma, Work related issues

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.
