About me
Do you need a confidential safe place where you can talk openly and truthfully about what’s really going on for you? Somewhere to talk about your needs, worries, or anxieties?
I meet individuals who have specific aims in mind but also individuals who have a sense of not knowing but certainly feeling something’s wrong.
I can offer you confidential, non-judgemental counselling. It is an opportunity for you to share, discover and if you feel changes are needed together we can work towards a new way of being for you which is more fulfilling and enhances your life.
If you would like to know more please call me for an informal, no-obligation chat. You can then ask any questions you may have, and we can see if what I can offer is of use to you.
Currently, at this time, I'm only able to offer Online and Telephone Counselling. Secure platforms are used. I have both daytime and evening appointments.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
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.

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.
