About me
I am a qualified BACP registered integrative counsellor, combining a person-centred and psychodynamic approach to work with clients with a wide range of presenting issues.
If you are experiencing anything that leaves you feeling overwhelmed or stuck, we can work to find way forward for you. Counselling provides a regular safe space for you to talk about difficult feelings without being judged. Usually working on an open-ended basis, I aim to provide a safe and accepting environment where you can look to find a deeper understanding of yourself, explore areas where you may feel stuck, uncover repeating patterns in relationships, or a space to safely confront and overcome negative behaviours, thoughts and feelings.
I have over 10 years’ experience of working with those who have been impacted by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, loss and bereavement. I have worked extensively with those whose lives have been impacted by their own or a family members substance use. Together we can create a safe space for you to explore any of these issues.

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.
