About me

I hope you will decide to choose me as your therapist. 

Together we can explore your issues and concerns, to find practical solutions tailored to your unique needs.

Whether it is exploring the impact of past experiences, building coping strategies for the problems of today, or making changes to establish hope for the future - counselling changes lives.  

I offer an integrative approach to therapy, specialising in "Solution Focused Brief Therapy" (SFBT).

  • MBACP - Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling Professionals

My experience includes helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, abuse, addiction, relationship or health issues.
I am committed to ongoing personal and professional development, ensuring I provide the most effective therapeutic support.

Member organisations

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.

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).
