By the time you have come to look for a therapist, you may have tried many different ways to address your difficulties, or get the right support. Talking to friends and family can be challenging when you feel overwhelmed, stuck or lost. This is where therapy can help.
I have developed and maintained excellent working relationships with my clients and this is a particular strength of mine, and I am committed to support you to make positive changes through therapy.

I am easy to talk to, approachable and friendly. I will always be honest with you and we will work together to find the best solutions to your problems.

About me
I worked in the NHS for many years nursing both adults and children and after having my own positive experience of therapy in the past, I decided to retrain as a Counsellor. I have experience of counselling in a Cancer Support Charity and a counselling service for employees of the NHS. I now work in private practice.
I have a passion for nature, gardening, spirituality and creativity.

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.
