About me
Welcome
There are times in life's journey when it is absolutely OK and understandable to be finding things hard. You may feel like this is the right moment to talk through the difficulties you are experiencing with a therapist to get some clarity of mind for you to explore and decide on how you want to move forwards. For clients new to counselling, I would describe the counselling process being like scaling a mountain. Starting from the foothills, the climb feels steep and it feels like a lot of effort and perseverance will be needed. However, the climb itself brings its rewards in offering new views, new perspectives of the surroundings. Reaching the top there is the chance to view the foothills from a different perspective and to perhaps see what the view is like from the other side of the mountain.
About Me
I am qualified Person-Centred Approach counsellor and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). In my private counselling practice, I offer my clients a confidential, safe and supportive space that empowers my clients to find their own path and their own way forwards.
My counselling approach is the Person-Centred Approach informed by humanistic psychology, existential and phenmenological philosophy.
How to Contact Me
The simplest way to contact me is by sending me an Email.
I offer new clients a 15-min "intro" telephone call to give us a chance to talk to each other and explore the possibility of working together. I aim to respond to client enquiries on the same day. Look forward to hearing from you.

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.
