About me
People come to counselling for many reasons, relationship breakdowns , addictive behaviours that are causing you a problem. Anxiety, feelings of loss or real sadness that seems to be causing you to have a lack of motivation. whatever the reason I would like support you to find your own answers and maybe a new perspective . This is an opportunity to explore your thought and feelings and hopefully gain a greater understanding of yourself and maybe some much needed peace.
I-am a qualified counsellor I use a person- centred approach which values the importance of the therapeutic relationship, I will support you to find your own answers. I offer a safe space, I want you to feel heard and understood without feeling judged for maybe the first Time in your life. The counselling sessions are 50 minutes, which would be weekly at the same time.
The first step of reaching out for support can be the hardest. Its important to find the right therapist so give me a call and trust in your gut instinct. counselling is based on a good relationship with the therapist you need to feel confident and comfortable to explore those difficult feelings.
If you would like to find out more about counselling and the way I work I offer a free 15 minute call at a convenient time and day for you. You can email or phone to set up your free consultation.

Member organisations
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.
