About me
Are you experiencing anxiety, racing thoughts, intrusive thoughts, sadness or low mood?
Maybe you have been struggling with negative thoughts or feelings about yourself or something you have experienced, and are finding it hard to change this or move forward.
Sometimes we can work through things ourselves, and feel better over time, but other times we may need help with processing our thoughts and feelings and finding the root cause of why we feel the way we do. By gaining a better understanding in ourselves and what we are experiencing, we can start to feel better and less confused and alone.
Counselling can help you make sense of what is going on for you, work through the issues you are experiencing, make long lasting changes, build stronger relationships, find new ways of coping and start moving forward with your life.
I have over 5 years experience in helping people overcome the difficulties and issues they are facing, to become stronger in themselves and improve their mental health. I have worked in counselling agencies where I have supported people with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addictions, eating disorders, PTSD and trauma.
Myself and my team of counsellors at my practice are all professionally trained and have a wealth of experience working with adults, adolescents and couples, experiencing a wide range of difficulties including: anxiety, low mood, depression, trauma, realtionship problems, abusive relationships and past childhood trauma.
Please see our website for more information www.thecounsellingpractice.co.uk
I understand how daunting finding a counsellor can be. If you would like to discuss your counselling needs before booking an appointment, please call or email to arrange a telephone consultation, and we can agree a time to talk.
We currently have daytime, evening and weekend, face to face and online counselling appointments available.

Member organisations
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.
