About me
We are in strange times at the moment, and a lot of us are experiencing some form of anxiety from mild to debilitating symptoms. Please do get in touch if there is anything about the Covid 19 pandemic that is affecting you.
It can sometimes be that a different perspective is achieved by talking through the difficulties, which can change how you feel.
Low self-esteem can impact your view on life. It's at times like this when we may need the help of a therapist.
Together we can explore and achieve a deeper self-awareness so you can feel stronger and face challenges. We will work at your pace helping you to feel comfortable to promote and develop your strengths and weaknesses.
I work in a calm and thoughtful way and will listen to your issues from your perspective, respect the difference and diversity between us, and be honest and open with you.
I have extensive experience as a Bereavement Counsellor at St Christopher's Hospice near Bromley, where I have volunteered for the past few years. Additionally, I am in private practice in Orpington, Bromley and surrounding areas.

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)
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
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.
