About me
Choosing the right counsellor can be difficult when you have much on your mind, but feeling comfortable and safe with your counsellor is the most important aspect for it to be of help to you. Look for what feels right for you, let it be your gift to yourself. It's a privilege for me to offer it to you.
I am a member of the BACP and trained to offer integrative counselling, working in a person centred way. I have also completed training recently as a Supervisor of counsellors. I have been working part time in my private practice at home for ten years.
Whatever the counselling approach, it's being listened to that counts and can be a journey of self-discovery. It's not for giving answers but for finding them and feeling empowered enough to make change where it's needed.
I believe that the experience of being truly listened to and accepted can be deeply nourishing, and this is at the heart of my work. I am here to listen and look forward to meeting you.
"Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out." Vaclav Havel

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.
