About me
After years of feeling successful and more or less in control, something has knocked you off course. It may be a minor event triggering something from your past. It might be a big thing, illness, divorce, retirement, that has had more impact than you expected. You've tried snapping yourself out of it and it hasn't worked and now you are looking for help.
If that’s you, then contact me. A text, a phone call; nothing to lose and maybe a lot to gain. Its worth the chance. We can start with the anonymity of a phone call. You can say what you want, then we can start to plan a way forward.
Our first meeting will be about you talking about what has been filling your thoughts. We can meet either online or go for a walk, should we live near enough (about 15 mile radius of Woodbridge).
If it was your car going cranky, you'd just get it fixed. You are worth more than your car, so do call.

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.

Further information
Your first session has no charge as I believe we both need the opportunity to decide whether and how we wish to work together. This can be by phone, video or in my therapy room at Clopton. We can also start at a pre-arranged walk nearer to where you live. Therapeutic walks are either by the sea, alongside a river or rural.
During this time you can share your main concerns and we can discuss how we can best work together. We can decide frequency of meeting (usually weekly to start) and your preferred mode of counselling and any other practical concerns you may have.
