About me
Counselling can be a life changing experience, providing you with peace of mind and freedom from issues you may be struggling with. The most important aspect in making this happen is finding the right therapist for you.
I am a qualified therapist with a huge amount of life experience. This has proved invaluable when working with clients, providing an understanding of your concerns and being able to hold a safe non-judgemental space in which to deal with them.
I am passionate about this type of work because I have seen people become free of issues that have burdened them for years, giving them a new lease of life and the ability to focus and achieve things that before were thought to be unattainable.
I am here to help you achieve the freedom you are looking for.
No matter what issues you may be dealing with, we will find the answers together.

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.
