About me
There are times in our lives when we all need additional support to help us through difficulties and making a decision to seek help for our personal problems can be daunting. I believe in creating a safe space to work together, where you are the expert in your own experiences and I have the experience and expertise in psychological theories and techniques to help you achieve your personal goals. It’s really important that you feel comfortable with the therapist you work with. Please feel free to contact me if you want to have a conversation before you decide if I am the right counsellor for you
Some of the relationship problems I work with include communication issues, affairs and betrayals, family issues, parenting issues, separation and divorce.
As a trained sex therapist I can help with sexual difficulties. Some of the sexual problems I work like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, painful intercourse, loss of desire, fear or avoidance of sex, sexual problems related to health, problems with arousal and impact of sexual abuse.
I also offer supervision to trainee counsellors and trained counsellors. I believe that good supervision is vital for the support and growth of counsellors. I aim to offer this by balancing the various aspects of supervision such as teaching, supporting and challenging.

Member organisations

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.

College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists
COSRT is the UK’s leading membership organisation for therapists specialising in sexual and relationship issues.
All members must abide by their Code of Ethics and the performance of accredited members is regularly monitored.
