About me
Counselling for Women.
My therapeutic practice is centred around bringing my 20's of experience as a counsellor to support individuals and couples through life's challenges, be it bereavement, crisis, conflict, trauma, transition.
These challenges can bring anxiety, depression, conflict, grief, isolation and other deeply uncomfortable feelings. I create a supportive, confidential environment fostering an enquiry into a deeper understanding of oneself, ones relationships and experiences. This process offers the potential to make sense of and move through discomfort and conflict as well as unraveling old patterns that may no longer serve.
My training in Integrative Counselling puts the client central to the process pulling on a wealth of therapeutic knowledge, experience and practice. .
I work creatively and organically, staying open to the individual ways we express ourselves whilst sensitively meeting the unique therapeutic and emotional needs as revealed.
I am a supervisor to other counsellors and psychotherapists.
I have a private practice in Totnes and work online at this time.

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.
