About me
"Its ok not to be ok..." We are living in unprecedented times, we all will feel anxious, depressed and unsettled at times. It can be difficult to understand what is going on and what you can do about it. I can offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore together and find a way forward.
Loss, we are all experiencing some kind of loss at the moment, it could a be loss of income, loss of connection with friends and family, bereavement, etc, but in these unprecedented times, it is a real time of loss.
I offer a safe place, where you can talk and explore and I will listen. I offer a 12 session contract initially,
I use all my experience and knowledge in how I work, I strive to be curious and helpful and I keep this as simple as possible.
Please contact me my email or phone, if I cant answer straight away please leave me a message and I will endeavour to reply within 2 working days, so we can arrange an initial session.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
