About me
Choosing to have counselling can be a daunting step but if you are looking for a professional therapist who will work alongside you, respect you and what you are bringing to your counselling sessions without judging you then I may be able to help you to make that first step and beyond. I have been qualified for over 20 years and have worked for the NHS and have worked as a therapist in Educational Establishments. I was Clinical Manager, supervising counsellors for an Employee Assistance Programme. I provide professional care and support to individuals, couples, adolescents and children.
Most people come to counselling feeling anxious and making this first nerve wracking step is often the most difficult thing to do. I offer a free 30 minute session on the telephone to see if what I provide is going to help you. Working within the BACP framework, one of my aims is to help you to feel safe straight away. I work as honestly as I know how and will let you know if I don’t think that I can help you and will suggest alternatives. I offer short term, solution focussed therapy and longer term therapy and also telephone counselling. In addition I offer support and debriefing to organisations and individuals who have experienced a critical incident or trauma.
One of my aims is to help you to find a way forward and to explore options on an issue or issues that you may have been thinking about for some time. I do this in a confidential environment which gives you the opportunity to explore and for you to say what you have been thinking and move forward.
I am a Supervisor and offer supervision to counselling students, groups, qualified counsellors, health care practitioners and to individuals and groups working in education and organisations.
I have a DBS Full Enhanced Check.
Finally, making that first step is often the most difficult. I will be there for you in a confidential environment to help you feel comfortable without any kind of judgement. In the first instance, I always suggest we have an initial session for you to decide that you feel comfortable for us to work together.

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).
