About me
When life gets busy, it can be easy to forget how we are really feeling. Everyday we are faced with some form of barrier which can be stressful and at times hard to cope with however, these could also be triggered by unresolved events from the past.
Not only can this affect our mood but also, our bodies, emotions, feelings and thoughts about ourselves, the world and others.
With the professional relationship between client and therapist at the heart of therapy, working collaboratively with a counsellor can support you in understanding these issues and achieving your personal goals.
Attending therapy can be a daunting experience therefore, providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore emotions and feelings in depth are at the core of my practice. By maintaining a natural empathetic approach, focus remains on the client during every session. My main therapeutic approaches are Person-Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic.
Reaching out for help is never easy however, it is the start of the road to acceptance and openness to change. Exploring how we feel can open new doors to different perspectives on situations past or present. We're all unique and cope in different ways therefore I believe every emotion is valid and every feeling is real, even if it doesn't make sense!

Member organisations

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.
Accredited register membership

Accredited Register Scheme
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).
