About me
I am passionate about working with individuals to support them to live more fulfilled and healthier lifestyles and as an Integrative Counsellor, I feel confident that counselling can support individuals to become more aware and understand the impact their own thoughts and feelings have on their behaviours which in turn will support them to have a better mindset, improving how they see and value themselves.
I am authentic, have a holistic approach to life and am comfortable working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and age groups. I have excellent empathic listening, verbal and non-verbal communication skills.
I offer an Integrative approach using person-centred therapy alongside cognitive behavioural therapy to support individuals in a safe setting to come and work through their issues or concerns, working together to support you to find a healthier balance to life. Recognising your own anxieties and stress can be difficult to share with others so having a personal and confidential space to explore those feelings are important and necessary.
I provide a safe and confidential space for you to talk, allowing you to work through feelings and emotions that are impacting your everyday life. Recognising which are your problems and others’ problems can be tricky sometimes. Working together at your pace we can find a way for you to make changes to improve these difficulties.
I have a home-based counselling practice which is both quiet and private, this is easily reachable within a five-minute walk from public transport links.
I do not publish my address on here but after we have had a free 30-minute telephone consultation and we have agreed a first appointment, I will give you all the information you need.
I offer face to face, telephone, email and online therapy to adults and young people on a long/short-term basis dealing with mental health issues.

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.
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.
