About me
I offer a collaborative approach to counselling, essentially person-centred but drawing from a wide range of approaches. My experience has taught me that there is no 'one size fits all' approach to therapy.
There are all sorts of reasons why people seek counselling, life is seriously hard at times and it can really help to talk to someone in confidence. No issue is too big or too small and there is no shame in seeking counselling. I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, childhood and adult trauma, grief, fear, loss, anger, disappointment and relationship issues. Counselling provides a safe, confidential space in which to express your thoughts and feelings. I can help you gain understanding and insight into a range of emotional issues.
I am an NVR informed practitioner, 'non-violent resistance', offering parents and caregivers a relational approach to responding to harmful and destructive behaviours in children and young people in the home and at school.
I also offer bespoke workshops for organisations, charities or any organised group. I have been a theatre maker for 20 years and have developed an intuitive practice combining non-threatening (and often humorous) theatre exercises with group facilitation to bring into the open any conflicts, misunderstandings, confusions or difficult to voice feelings. I have also used this creative approach to enable open discussions and debate around difficult subjects such as sex, consent, exploitation and politics. Unravelling judgments (conscious & unconscious), biases, assumptions and fears to cultivate empathy within groups, towards self, each other and service users (if applicable). Like all aspects of my therapeutic practice this work is contracted between participants with clearly set out boundaries. If this aspect of my work interests you please call or email me for a quote.
I look forward to hearing from you and hope I can help.
Call, text or email me and I will get back to you.

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.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
