About me
A warm welcome to my practice,
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by life's events, alone with the choices that may confront you, or feel that you would like to talk to someone?
I offer warm, compassionate, non-judgemental counselling. I provide a calm and peaceful space where all work is totally confidential.
I am a BACP Accredited counsellor with 19 years experience in Private Practice.
I believe that a good therapeutic relationship can enable you to explore, clarify or simply share issues that you are experiencing, and maybe make changes that could enhance your life.
I work in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework.
I offer face to face counselling for individuals, couples and young adults (18 onwards). I am happy to work on a short term or long term basis, which we can discuss in our initial session.
As well as face to face counselling, I can provide telephone counselling after an initial face to face session.
My areas of interest are: Bereavement, Depression, Anxiety, Identity, Self-esteem, Redundancy, Loss of any kind, Relationship problems, Health, Stress and Work related issues.
I have extensive experience with issues around disability, such as self-esteem, difficulties with relationships caused by disability, or a feeling of living in a different world to everybody else and being misunderstood.
My initial training was at the Wealden Institute in Crowborough and my core theoretical model is person centred/integrative.

Member organisations
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.
