About me

A warm welcome from me. It can feel a daunting task to start therapy – finding the right person and making contact and meeting for the first time. It is a brave step, and it is the first step to finding a space where you can talk and feel listened to and not feel judged. I work with a people from all walks of life, who are facing a variety of issues.

I have a small private practice in Woburn Sands, Milton Keynes. I see clients face to face in my therapy room or through zoom or a combination of the two.  I will provide a calm and supportive space for you to explore what is going on for you. I draw on my professional training as a counsellor and a range of theories and ideas and my own experiences as a client, to find the best way to support you. I work openly and transparently and will bring into the room differences between us that may influence the work.

Counselling can be about supporting people who feel they are in crisis, as well as people wanting to reflect on their lives, their selves, identity and relationships. It may mean tears, as well as laughter, but requires commitment and active participation from you.

Get in contact and we can arrange a 30 minute free consultation to talk through what you feel you need from therapy and  what I can offer you.  If you would like to continue we can then arrange a first session and begin working together.   I can offer short term or long term therapy and I will put in place regular reviews to check in whether the therapy is supporting you in the way that you need.

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.
