About me
You have had expectations and judgments of you throughout your life that have caused you to supress your true feelings and beliefs in order to be accepted. This may have worked so far but now something has shifted and you may have feelings that are difficult to cope with. My belief in your innate ability to know what are your best solutions allows me to offer you a safe, confidential space to explore all your feelings, without interruption, supporting you to build greater trust in yourself, raise your self-awareness, build your self-esteem, increase your motivation and help you rebuild a strong foundation of your own beliefs and values.

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.
