About me
I am a Counsellor, Trauma Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor. I can work with a wide range of difficulties with all ages, and specialise in working with Children and Young People’s Trauma.
I work together with you to build a strong relationship while we assess together what you need, then tailor support to meet your specific difficulties, regularly reviewing to ensure support is working well.
I have worked and held Senior Therapist and Clinical Lead positions in a variety of environments including Social Care, Schools, Local Trauma and Mental Health Charities and most recently a National Therapeutic Provider.

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.

Further information
I provide a comfortable environment with free refreshments and toilet facilities. My aim is to focus on building relationships with acceptance, trust, and feelings of safety, before then working in depth through your difficulties or your supervision needs at your own pace.
I use a variety of different approaches to tailor support to your specific needs. In your first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and how I might be able to work in a way that is right for you.
I offer Therapy and Clinical Supervision sessions online and in person at a village hall with both small and large room spaces available.
