About me
From offices based in York City Centre, I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor offering therapy in person, online or by phone to adults (18+).
Conducted in a safe, calm and confidential environment, we will explore the life events that may have left you questioning or struggling to make sense of your thoughts, feelings, experiences and the world around you.
As an integrative therapist, with a Masters degree and post graduate diploma, I will draw upon a range of approaches and techniques tailored to your needs.
Collaboratively, we will work towards finding clarity and a new perspective as we build upon your inner resources in a setting where you will be heard, respected and understood without judgement.
The number of sessions required can vary, from a few to as many as you feel appropriate to ensure that therapy is providing the support you are looking for, with regular reviews held.
Prior to working in private practice, I worked for a specialist domestic abuse organisation and a number of charities, where sessions covered a wide range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, bereavement, grief and eating disorders.

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).
