About me
It's never too late to be who you might have been. (George Eliot.)
I provide a warm, engaging space for you to explore any issues that are troubling you, or that are disabling you from engaging fully with life. That might be a tricky relationship, depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse or sometimes just a lack of direction or a life transition.
There is no judgement, just a deep desire to help you to function fully.
I work as an integrative counsellor, which means that I draw on many traditions in a manner that best suites your needs, and is respectful of your boundaries. At all times, this is a collaborative process.

I have had careers in Nursing and Management Consulting, working across many strata and with different kinds of people in many countries. I chose to train as a counsellor after having had successful and groundbreaking counselling that gave me insight into my life and my choices. I love working with people from all walks of life and being able to negotiate tricky transitions, life choices or lack of direction with you
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.
