About me
Do you ever wonder why life feels like such a struggle?… Do you think things could be easier, if only someone could help you to understand yourself a bit better…?
Sometimes the source of our distress is clear - work stress, bereavement, relationship problems. Or maybe you've been diagnosed with ADHD/ neurodiversity, and are trying to learn how to cope... For others, it’s hard to understand why they feel low or anxious. Either way, it can be really difficult to get out of the hole on your own.
Over many years of supporting people in hard times, I have learned that there is always a reason for our feelings… and it’s always possible to find a way through the fog and into a brighter place. I would love to help you to do this too. As I help you to identify and talk through your deepest thoughts, fears and feelings, your life can be completely transformed.
Our meetings will always be completely confidential and tailored to your needs as I draw on my professional counselling skills and experience, to facilitate the changes you need to make. My work is accredited by the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), meaning that I abide by a UK code of ethics and professional practice.
I also offer clinical supervision to support counsellors and others in similar helping professions.

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.
