About me

“It is not that this approach gives power to the person; it never takes it away”

(Rogers, 1977)

As a person centred counsellor, I believe that the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor is fundamental. I believe that the safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment that I offer can facilitate the process of self-exploration and change. The client is always at the centre of the process and I work at the clients pace. Coming to counselling can be daunting as often we are not sure what is troubling us but being able to explore and share our fears and anxieties in a warm and empathic space can be life changing.

I am a qualified BACP accredited counsellor.

Member organisations

school 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.
