About me
I am a highly trained and experienced Integrative counsellor, psychotherapist. I work with adults one on one. The range of my clients mirrors the range of people around Leicester. I am also a qualified clinical supervisor.
Among issues with which I work are abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, mental well-being, strain and distress, relationships, trauma, unease of culture, and problems at work. The spectrum is much wider. Each person has experienced events in their lives that have created setbacks or barriers. We work together to find a way forward to a live in a way that fulfils you.
Within the work, opportunities develop we may not have thought of. There is scope for new ways of looking at, noting, and being with hurtful events in our lives, without allowing these to keep us stuck.
It is a matter of small steps. It relates to timing. It is a question too of how ready each client is to take in, and manage, strands of something new and other than prior ways of being or of making sense. In short, as and when the time is right.
As a counsellor and psychotherapist, my aim is to get, grasp, and follow what you need. I am also mindful of your background and foothold in life. So, I practise by way of a sliding scale for fees. This relates to the details of your present life, work or study. You can talk these through with me.
I offer online or telephone, face to face confidential counselling and psychotherapy. I will not fast-track or tell you how you ought to solve your problems. Instead, as counsellor and client, we would each and jointly think about the issues that affect you; and explore your feelings, thoughts and collaborate on finding a way forward.

Member organisations
school 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.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
