About me

I provide compassionate and non-judgemental support to people experiencing a myriad of symptoms including anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, family issues and many physical health problems.  I provide an up to 30 minute initial chat so that we can both assess if we think we are a good match for you.  Please email me to arrange a convenient time to do that.  

My training and approach enable me to work with each person in a holistic and reparative way.  My focus is on you gaining value from each session.  You will not only feel better you will learn life-enhancing skills that you can apply going forward.  I am experienced in short and longer-term work.

I have ran a successful private practice since 2019.  I have a nursing background and have also worked in a NHS Psychological Wellbeing Centre and in Mental Health Research. 

Life is difficult at times and our personal-relationships and life-circumstances  can seem to bring us more stress than joy.  It is all resolvable so please contact me if you would like to have an initial chat and find out if you think the way I work will be beneficial for you.

Member organisations

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.
