About me
How counselling can help
Whatever is happening for you, as a Counsellor with 9 years experience, I offer a safe and confidential space where we can work together to explore your situation and find the best way forward.
My counselling approach is Person Centred/ Integrative. This means I am able to combine techniques from different therapies in a Person Centred way to meet your individual needs and personal circumstances - tailoring the therapy to you.
My experience
Having worked for the NHS, mental health charity Mind and bereavement counselling service Cruse as well as my own practice, I have experience with adults who present with a wide range of issues including abuse, addiction, anger, anxiety, confidence, depression, grief and loss, obsessive compulsive disorders, relationship, self esteem, stress, trauma and work related.
The Service
I work from St Catherine's House which is located in the gorgeous grounds of Woodfield Park on Tickhill Road in Balby, Doncaster.
The building is easily accessible from both Doncaster town centre and the A1 and M18 and has free parking on site. It also boasts a Tea Rooms and Victorian Walled Garden.
I am also able to work with clients whatever their location online (via Zoom, Facetime or WhatsApp) or over the phone.
First counselling sessions can seem daunting. I offer a free initial telephone consultation giving you an opportunity to find out more about how counselling may be of benefit.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy and work to its code of ethics. I have full liability insurance.

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.
