About me
Due to the current situation with COVID-19 I am offering online and telephone counselling only at this time.
I am a fully qualified person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP who offers a professional, safe, confidential, non-judgemental and friendly counselling service.
As a person centred counsellor it is my belief that individuals are at the centre of their experiences and it is only them who truly knows how this was experienced. I can help the individual to understand their experiences and their feelings towards their experiences essentially helping them to reconnect with their inner values and self worth.
As well as my private counselling practice I also currently work for a charitable organisation counselling adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and have previously worked with ChildLine counselling children and young people. My previous roles have also given me experience of working in a wide variety of settings with people with a broad range of issues which have included me working with older people, people with severe mental health disorders, people with disabilities and people with hoarding disorder.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a highly qualified counsellor with a Masters (MA) in Clinical Counselling. My undergraduate degree (BSc) is in Psychology gained at Bangor University of Wales where I also gained my Masters (MSc) in Psychological Research.

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.
