About me

I am an experienced person-centred counsellor and work with adults, young people and children in Cheltenham and surroundings. I can offer you counselling in both English and French.

I have many years experience of working one to one with clients of varied ages, backgrounds and circumstances.

The counselling I offer you is non-judgemental and respectful, which enables you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in a safe, confidential space.

I can offer you my support to work on:

  • anxiety / panic attacks
  • depression / low mood / general sadness
  • relationship difficulties
  • bereavement
  • work-related stress and other issues
  • family difficulties
  • low self esteem

Please call, text or email me to make your first appointment.

I have extensive experience in bereavement issues, including childhood bereavement. This includes generic death as well as bereavement through suicide or sudden death.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
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.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I am very experienced through my work in a large secondary school, supporting young people, dealing with self-harm and suicidal thoughts.  I am able to work with children from age 10.

Through my experience as a Cruse Bereavement Support volunteer, I have gained a lot of experience working with loss through suicide and sudden death as well as dealing with complex grief.
