About me

Are you looking for someone to listen to you and to support you through a difficult period or event in your life? Do you need counselling with a coaching approach, which I have been developing over the past few years?

Over the past 20 years I have used my training and experience and learned to manage my own stress and anxiety by experimenting with different techniques. My approach to helping you is to explore what is going on in your life and support you to change your behaviour and lifestyle in order to become the person you really want to be. I believe in a holistic way of living, meaning that if you look after your body your mind will feel better too. I will support you in moving forward in whichever direction you need to.

I use relaxation techniques, guided meditation, re-framing negative into positive thought patterns, thinking about how your past makes you the person you are, exploring what you really want from life and trying behavioural experiments to see what works for you. I follow your lead in exploring possibilities and new ways of living with you as a person-centred counsellor.

I will help you to set goals in order to develop new more positive habits and face challenges with confidence and courage. I draw on different approaches as appropriate to your problems and the situation. I currently offer online sessions via WhatsApp or Zoom.

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.

Further information

I work from an integrative approach. That means I adapt my counselling according to the needs of the client. I am trained as a person-centred counsellor but also draw from my knowledge of many different approaches, such as mindfulness and relaxation, cognitive-behavioural, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt and others. I believe that everyone is an individual, but that we often have problems in common. I listen closely to an individual problem and work collaboratively with each client, usually for a short number of sessions, it depending on the individual and on the situation.
