About me
I've been qualified for over 18 years and am accredited with the BACP. Before private practice I was a counsellor in the NHS for over 10 years, and with several mental health charities before that. My training and practice are integrative with a person-centred foundation.
I know it can be daunting to ask for help, especially from a professional, but also what a difference it can make if you find the right person. The way we work will be particular to you, I'll make sure that I understand what you would like from counselling, and talk with you to make sure that we work in a way which suits you, and that you find helpful.
I'll listen without making judgements so that you're safe, supported and understood. I'll follow your lead, and you won't have to talk about anything that you don't want to.
I’ve helped people going through all kinds of difficulties and have particular experience in helping with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, stress, difficult relationships, disability, bereavement and loss.
I offer 1:1 appointments via Zoom, phone, and in person, and can be flexible in the online appointment times available, including early morning and evening and some availability for online appointments on Saturday mornings.
You can choose whether we work together briefly for an agreed number of sessions or ongoing.
The first session:
I'll ask about what prompted you to look for help and what you would like from counselling. I'll also ask about your life-circumstances and history so that I can better understand the context of your difficulties, and I'll answer any questions that you have.
If I think that a different form of help is appropriate I’ll discuss this with you. If you decide that the counselling I offer is not right for you, you’re under no obligation to continue.
If you are a student or on a low income, I'm happy to discuss a reduced fee with you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.
