About me
I am a highly qualified, widely experienced, BACP registered counsellor working with adults and young people in Bolster Moor, near Huddersfield. I work with everyone individually, respecting your needs and personality. I will help you gain insight and understanding of your experiences and their impact, ultimately empowering you to make choices leading to a more fulfilling, stable, and satisfying life.
I work in private practice, and counsel for Kirklees Employee Healthcare service. I am a integrative and person-centred counsellor which means I can use different techniques and approaches to help you with whatever you are struggling with. I work face to face, online and by telephone.
My extensive experience of counselling confirms that counselling leads to change and progress in life. Our positive, accepting, constructive and empowering relationship will help you to gain understanding and clarity about the issues you are struggling with and move forwards with positive relationships, greater confidence and increased self-esteem.
I specialise in
- depression
- domestic violence
- abuse
- stress
- bereavement
- childhood issues
- low self-esteem and confidence.
- anxiety
I offers short term and long term counselling, meeting your individual needs and preferences. The first session will be spent exploring your concerns and getting to know each other. You will be in control of the sessions, choosing the pace and what you wish to explore.
I am happy to have a free, initial telephone conversation to answer any questions you have. Please do not hesitate to contact me 07975684147.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
Accredited Register Scheme
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.
