About me

I work integratively which means that I can use different therapeutic practices depending on the client I am working with. I find this comes naturally to me as our relationship develops. You can be sure that you will be safe with me.

After our initial contact, I will arrange a free half-hour session to discuss what brings you to counseling.

If we both agree that we can work together we will then arrange a time and day for our sessions. We will initially discuss the contract for both of us to sign.

I will endeavour to ensure that we meet at the same time and place weekly, or fortnightly if you wish. I prefer to work face to face in either of my two offices or remotely. I can also arrange 'walk and talk' by request.

You will feel safe and listened to when in therapy with me.

We will regularly review our work and will carry on sessions for as long as you wish.

I will help you at your pace and together we will work to achieve your goals.

Together we can talk.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist, a Registered Member of the BACP (MBACP) and also an Accredited Registrant (MNCPS Acc).

I was a volunteer with the Samaritans for over eight years. This experience made me realise how a connection between two people can be so therapeutic. I was intrigued when I considered the impact of developing a relationship in counselling.

I have also volunteered for the NHS, working within their low-cost model of short term counselling of 6 to 12 sessions.

I currently volunteer for a local charity, The Counselling Partnership, where I work with clients in a low-cost setting. Here I work with clients for a minimum of six weeks and up to one year. I also help the charity with the assessment of possible future clients.

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.

Further information

Things I can help with:

  • Difficulties in relationships - do you find that you keep repeating the same patterns in your relationships.
  • Depression - are you in a rut and unsure how to get past it?
  • Anxiety - is anxiety taking over your world? Would you like to feel that you can control the anxiety?
  • Grief - do you feel stuck in your grief and unable to move on?Motivation - do you feel unable to complete jobs? Is your head full of thoughts of inadequacy?
  • Procrastination - preventing you from starting jobs in plenty of time to make sure you have completed them to the best of your abilities?
  • Feeling unworthy - do you feel “not good enough” so why try? Or if something does go well, do you feel you don't deserve it, or someone else made it happen?
  • Unable to lead an authentic life - do you feel you are missing something in your life?
    These, and many other issues, have been resolved in a good therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients.

    Together we can talk.
