About me
When you accept yourself for who you are, you are able to greatly enhance your life. Let me support you through this process to be heard. I work with Children, Adolescents, ADHD, Adults, trauma issues, Couples, anxiety, relationship issues, depression, panic disorders, anger issues, bereavement and loss.
Let's talk, I provide you with the space and safety to explore anything that might be challenging you. I am emphatic, insightful and non-judgemental. My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship with you to enable you to explore thoughts and emotions which can promote personal growth.
I work with different approaches, Person Centred, Integrative and Behavioural (REBT/CBT) therapies. My counselling methods are tailored specifically and agreed with you. I believe that each individual has an uniqueness that is pertinent to them and I nurture that belief.
My core belief is that everyone has within them the capacity to develop , change and grow into a fully functional person. I create a supportive, gentle and kind environment which helps to build a strong relationship with my clients. I encourage my clients to grow and to relinquish negative/unhealthy beliefs and behaviours.
Key to this is my compassion. I accept the traits of each individual, which helps to build our relationship, nurture change and accentuate growth.

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.
