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.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, frustrating and confusing. Going through a bereavement, relationship troubles, problems at work or family/adoption issues can make you feel very sad, lonely and isolated, causing anxiety.
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 is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
