About me
I am a certified Person-Centred counsellor and CBT therapist, with additional training in trauma therapy, and also offering rewind therapy. My background also includes both training and experience in the areas of Mental Health and Bereavement. I offer support, working closely to suit your needs, with either one or a mixture of the modalities. This is something we can discuss together sensitively to ensure you get the best out of your sessions.
Previous experience includes working with clients at the Swan Women’s Centre, and Ormskirk Bereavement Service. I currently work for a large organisation alongside my private practice; working with those who have experienced adult and or childhood trauma, work-related stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship breakdowns, chronic illness, OCD, self-harm, phobias, confidence, and self-esteem.
I don’t believe in a one size fit’s all approach, I am very passionate in providing the most appropriate talking therapy, tools, techniques, and coping strategies suited to you. I have a genuine desire to understand you for you, helping you to heal with the correct support in place and being fully committed to your journey.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and very much committed to abiding by their ethical framework, ensuring good practice. I have all of the relevant insurance in place, GDPR compliant, and hold an enhanced DBS certificate.

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.
