About me

There are many reasons why you may be considering counselling which are unique to you as an individual. Taking the first step in asking for help is often difficult. That is why I offer a 20 minute, no obligation, informal consultation, either by telephone or online, in order for you to make an informed decision if counselling/therapy with me is the right option for you.

I believe that we are all unique individuals/couples and with regards to counselling, one size does NOT fit all.

With this in mind, I offer an integrative approach to counselling, combining person-centred (PC) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This approach provides you (the client) with a tailor-made service, specific to your needs. 

I also draw upon DBT, ACT and Imago methods and techniques to achieve personal growth and create a positive change, not only in your relationship with others but more importantly your relationship with self. 

I offer a compassionate, confidential, safe space to explore any difficulties  that you may be experiencing, all at your own pace.

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.

Key details

DBS check info

In England and Wales, the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, formerly known as CRB) carry out criminal records checks for individuals working with vulnerable groups, such as children. To find out more, visit gov.uk , or contact this professional directly

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
