About me
I am an experienced, professional and caring counsellor. I work with a range of issues such as anxiety, depression, bereavement , low mood, trauma, loneliness, family and relationship issues. I work with individuals and also supports trainee therapists.
I provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore the difficulties you are facing. I offer support and insight that can help you develop new ways of coping. I hope to guide you towards feeling well, understood and able to make positive changes in your life.
I work with adults, teenagers and children.

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.
