About me

Sometimes life's challenges can be overwhelming, reaching out and seeking support is your first courageous step in addressing your concerns. Together we can identify areas you feel are holding you back from taking your chosen path and achieving your goals.

I am a qualified Person-Centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to their ethical framework of good practice. Some of the areas I have experience in are anxiety, low self esteem, bereavement and substance mis-use. My aim as your counsellor is to create an environment where you feel safe enough to talk through your issues at your own pace, whilst being fully supported on your journey of self awareness and emotional well-being.

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.
