About me

We all come to counselling for different reasons, but everyone takes up therapy to feel better about themselves. To feel good enough. You’ve chosen to read my profile because somehow you know there’s a need to change. Congratulations, recognising this is the first step.

Let’s face it, life can be hard. To tackle the challenges we endure day-to-day, it’s essential to build a good psychological foundation and increase our fortitude. Without a balanced lifestyle, our bodies and minds become less resilient. Are you struggling to move forward?

My life philosophy is simple – be consistent and things will change for you. Work with me if you want to create healthier habits/behaviours and relinquish old beliefs that have weighed you down. I can show you the strategies to move forward.

I specialise in behavioural change, motivation, relationships, addiction, depression and anxiety. Through self-reflection, you will realise that the issues you are experiencing are linked to your core beliefs about yourself. These beliefs control you... for now.

I also work as a Personal Trainer, facilitating clients’ physical challenges through exercise. Healthy body, healthy mind. Fitness and mental wellness is connected and it’s my pleasure to assist people to unlock their confidence and release the fear that holds them back.

Book an assessment with me, so that we can discuss what you need from counselling. There’s never the right time to make a change, there’s always an excuse if you let it – start today!

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.

UKCP
UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP)

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
