About me
Any one of us can experience low points and struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, feeling unable to move forward in our lives.
I provide a relaxed, respectful, non-judgemental space where clients can feel fully supported, seen, and heard. I believe that therapy can be the defining reparative process that uncovers the hidden negative thoughts and experiences that have stifled an individual's ability to enjoy their life the way they want.
I have a client-centred approach to counselling, which means I put the client's needs and well-being at the forefront of our sessions. I am empathic, understanding and genuine. I draw on a lifetime of experiences working with and supporting diverse individuals from all walks of life, and my therapeutic knowledge and skills to help my clients reach their therapeutic goals. I work to support clients as they examine their own journey in life and any unhelpful thoughts, feelings or behaviours that might be preventing them from progressing towards improved mental health, reducing the anxiety, depression or unhealthy activities that have prevented them from achieving their full potential.

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.
