About me
I am a person-centred qualified counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. My aim is to offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and accepted.
I believe that everyone’s experiences are unique, and that sometimes having a safe space to talk can make it possible to begin making sense of difficult thoughts, feelings or experiences. My approach is gentle and collaborative, allowing you to work at your own pace and explore whatever feels important to you. I will listen with empathy, respect your individuality, and work alongside you rather than telling you what you should do.
I offer a free 30 minute introductory session where we can discuss your needs, goals and the possibility of working together.
If we agree to work together then I offer one on one sessions on a weekly basis from a scenic location. I also offer Walk and Talk sessions where we can talk while exploring nature. Clients will need to have their own transport as there is no public transport available.

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.
