About me

I am a fully qualified and accredited counsellor, and former nurse, offering a safe and caring space in which to explore your difficulties or issues. I offer sessions both face to face and online, via zoom. 

It can sometimes be difficult to share personal feelings and information with friends and family and so counselling can provide the space in which to speak honestly and without fear of being judged.

As a Person Centred Counsellor I believe that everyone can, with help, work towards an understanding of their own issues if they can explore these in an environment in which they feel heard, valued and understood. This respectful approach ensures that we will always work at your own pace and with the problems that you wish to discuss.

 I understand how hard it can be to take the first step towards counselling and so I offer a free 10 minute phone call where I can answer any queries you may have. From this you can then choose whether you would like to book an initial session.

Member organisations

Registered / Accredited

Registered / Accredited

Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

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.

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).

Additional information

It can be daunting to take the first steps towards talking about personal information and so I offer a free 10 minute telephone consultation in which we can discuss how counselling might help and to answer any questions you may have.

We can then arrange an initial meeting where we can discuss working together, either short or long term.

Key details

DBS check

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
