About me

Before starting in private practice I was a counsellor at the NHS for over 10 years, and before then I volunteered at several mental health charities. I’ve worked with people going through all kinds of difficulties. I have particular experience in helping with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, living with disability, bereavement and trauma.

I offer 1:1 counselling, and work in an Integratiive and Person Centred way. 

You'll have the space and the time to speak freely without being judged, which many people find a relief in itself. I'll help you to talk through what’s on your mind, to explore and understand your difficulties in a way which is helpful to you, and help you make changes that you want.

I work online via Zoom, or by phone and can be flexible in the appointment times that I offer, including early morning and evening. 

You can choose sessions either weekly or fortnightly, and whether we work together briefly, for a set number of sessions, or in an ongoing way.

I offer concessions if you are on a low income, or a student, and am happy to discuss this with you. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I know that it can be difficult to ask for help, please call, text or email me using the details above if you have any questions or would like to book an appointment.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

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
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

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
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).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
