About me
I have over 10 years of experience and am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
I work with individuals, young adults and couples from my private practice near Camberley, Surrey. I also work as a counsellor at a local college, working with young adults.
I have experience of working with a wide range of issues including neurodiversity, addiction, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, trauma, abuse, eating disorders, difficulties coping with everyday life, panic attacks, relationship issues, unresolved childhood difficulties, self-esteem issues, self-harm or suicidal thoughts, stress management, sex and sexuality, self-esteem and confidence building.
Through counselling I can help you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a safe, confidential and caring space, so you can develop a better understanding.
I will not give you my opinions or advice but will help you find your own solutions – whether that’s making effective changes in your life or finding ways of coping with your problems.
My approach is integrative, which means I am trained in a number of theories, and can tailor counselling to meet your needs.
Some counselling is short term and more solution focused and other times it is more long term and can be reviewed as we go.
I also offer walk and talk therapy.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes and cost £60
Couples sessions are 50 minutes and cost £80

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.
