About me
Life can be stressful and busy and at times we can lose focus on ourselves and what is important. I work with Children, Young people and adults of all ages. I offer a confidential and safe space to discuss and support working through your concerns. I use a person-centred approach to support my clients to look at the areas of their lives they choose to. I offer guidance and insight where needed to help my clients navigate these difficult times.
I have extensive experience working with addiction, relaspe recovery, emotional regulation, behavioural change and coping. I also work with change of life diagnosis, long-term illness, terminal illness, bereavement, anxiety and depression. I offer a compassionate and non-judgemental approach to support my clients to work with their concerns.
Trust can be difficult and having somone who truly hears you and strives to understand is at the heart of my counselling approach. It is key to long-term lasting change. Life can be scary and it takes courage to begin your journey to recovery. Contact me today to arrange a short, free no obligation chat to discuss your concerns.

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.
