About me
I work with people of all ages who may be feeling anxious, low or struggling with changes at home. I am trained to offer counselling to children and young people using various creative and playful techniques. In addition to my training as an adult counsellor. I also support new parents who may be finding it difficult to adjust to life with their new baby.
Counselling for children and young people.
Children and young people can find it difficult to know the right words to clearly express their feelings. Instead, they may become angry, upset, or quiet and withdrawn, they may be having problems with friendships and family relationships, they may struggle with managing their behaviour. Their work at school or college can be affected as they are preoccupied with their difficulties, their concentration can become affected and their sleep disrupted. I can help.
Counselling for Adults.
When we are struggling we may find that we no longer want to spend time with the people who are important to us, our working life may become affected. Asking for help from family and friends may not always seem to be the right thing to do. We may feel embarrassed about speaking out or do not want to worry the people who are important to us. I can help
Support for new parents.
Welcoming a new baby into the family can be both an exciting and exhausting time. Your thoughts about what it may be like before your baby arrives may be quite different from how things are after the birth. You may feel as if other parents you know, are coping much better than you are. You may find yourself feeling worried and low, perhaps the birth did not happen in the way you hoped. I can meet with you and your baby to explore your concerns without judgment. Please contact me to find out more.

Member organisations
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.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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).
