About me
Reaching out and attending therapy can be quite daunting which is why I offer a free 15 minute chat which gives you the opportunity to ask questions and get to know how I work before booking in with me. I feel its really important to work with a therapist you feel comfortable with so would always encourage you to research before deciding.
I work in a humanistic way which means you are at the centre of all the work. I will be guided by your experience and I offer a safe, non judgemental space for you to bring all of your concerns and issues to.
I have experience working with a wide variety of individuals just like you who are looking to improve their life and work through anything from depression and anxiety to bereavement and trauma. With special interests in LGBTQ+ community, chronic illness and the menopause.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP registered counsellor with experience working in the NHS, for a national charity, with local businesses and in Private Practice. I offer both short and long term work face to face, online and by phone.

I offer face to face, online video and telephone counselling
Online therapy is just as good as face to face therapy, you have the same amount of time and I offer the same conditions I would if you were in the same room.
The great thing about offering a service online and by telephone is that you can access my support from anywhere in the country. I am also happy to change between online, telephone and face to face if you wish, making it even easier to fit into your home and working life.
I would always ask that your camera is on throughout the session if possible and I would ensure that mine is too.
I use whereby for online therapy which, from feedback from clients, is an easy to access and private platform.
A link would be sent to you via email. This link will take you to a meeting room where you 'knock' on the door and I would then let you into the meeting. This ensures that the meeting room is secure and private.
When offering telephone counselling, we would arrange a time for the session and I would call you on the number you would prefer.
For both telephone and online video, its really important that the same conditions are given as face to face, so I would ask that you are in a safe and private space for you to be able to talk freely. I would be working from my private therapy room whichever method you decide fits well with you.

Registered member BACP
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.
