About me
I am a dual trained counsellor & therapeutic coach and specialise in helping people rebuild their lives after bereavement, loss or life-change, including illness or rebuilding after relationship breakup.
I have particular interest in helping women navigate the changes and challenges of middle and later life, including mental wellbeing coaching for the menopause years.
Rebuilding our lives after loss and major life-change, and talking about the effect on our emotional and mental wellbeing can be hard- as well as knowing what will help. Because I offer both counselling and wellbeing coaching, I have a flexible approach to how we can work together to provide sessions that best suits your needs and that allows you to choose time and pace that's right for you.
With more than 20 year's professional experience in this area of work you can be sure of a quality service from me.
I also offer low-cost self-development workshops for those who prefer to learn and laugh with others. The Autumn/ Winter programme will be announced soon on my website.
Training, qualifications & experience
Experience
Since qualifying two decades ago I have gained extensive experience, working in the NHS, voluntary and community services, higher education and independent practice as both counsellor and as a non-medical mental health mentor and adviser. The majority of that time was spent supporting people to rebuild their lives after bereavement, loss and major- life change.
I have experience of working with people with a range of neurodivergent conditions such as ASD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and ADHD, other health related conditions and disabilities, and different backgrounds.

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.

Additional information
I offer a sliding scale of fees dependent on your circumstances. Please feel free to ask.
I offer ongoing sessions for longer term work or 'one-off' single sessions of help. You might choose a 'one-off' session because you only need, want or can afford one session, or because you want your sessions to be occasional as the need arises.
Because I offer a flexible approach to sessions they can be spread over different periods of time in different ways in a way that best suits the difficulties you want to work on, your life and lifestyle.
In person, online or telephone appointments now available.
The key thing is that during the initial free 20 minute consultation we can discuss which option best suits your individual needs, diary and budget.
Please feel free to ask about fees tailored to your circumstances.
